Guelph Covered Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Guelph Covered Bridge spans 144 feet across the Speed River. It was built recently, in 1992, by the Timber Framers' Guild and is only open to pedestrians and bikes. Take a few pictures as you walk through it, as it is one of only a few covered bridges in all of Ontario.

Eramosa and Speed River Confluence

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is where the Eramosa River flows into the Speed River, and is a prominent river confluence in the heart of Guelph. The meeting of these waterways has been a gathering place for Indigenous peoples for generations, reflecting deep cultural and spiritual connections to the land. Later, the rivers played a key role in shaping the city’s early industry, providing power for some of its first mills and businesses.
