Eramosa River Park — Attraction in Guelph

This is a beautiful park, with some quiet little trails through the trees along the water. But despite being leash-free, this isn't particularly off-leash friendly. I went today for the first time because the city says it is dog friendly and off-leash. I passed three different groups who all had an issue with my dog being off leash.

One can rent a canoe in the summer months at "The Boathouse," a restaurant on the North side of the Speed river just East of Gordon Street.The paddle upstream from here onto the Eramosa River is easy and beautiful. The River is navigable without portaging for perhaps 4 kilometers. With the exception of one very shallow area it's easy to paddle...
