The small village of Varney, Ontario, an unincorporated village within the Municipality of West Grey, is known for two things: the Varney International Speedway, a 1/4 mile high banked short track motor racing oval, and the Varney Big Chair.
The Varney Big Chair is a massively oversized Muskoka Chair (also known as an Adirondack Chair), which at 22 foot high, is bigger than a similar oversized chair found in the Town of Gravenhurst, in Muskoka Region. Easily seen on the west side of Highway 6, just north of Varney, it has become a popular local tourist attraction.
As it’s located on private property, visitors should be respectful when stopping to take photos.
