Trails Open: The Ontario Reformatory

In 1912, reformatory prisoners built this wooden trestle bridge over the Eramosa River from Douglas fir logs transported by train from British Columbia. The Guelph Hiking Trail Club will lead 30-minute 400-metre walks (1,300 feet) (on demand) from 10 a.m. until 3:30 p.m., visiting the Guelph Escarpment and the dry-stone walls around the remnants of Guelph's original 1908 oak aqueduct.
