We took a drive out here one evening. Its very cute, and quite romantic to watch the horse carriages stroll through. I would have liked to come when it was warmer though.
IF you can find it, the visit is worthwhile. I drove all around the beautiful countryside before stopping in the charming hamlet of St. Joseph at a Mennonite information office. Not only did they have a nice map to the bridge but on the back was a list of facts regarding the history of the bridge. If you follow these directions, as you drive along Jig Hollow Rd., keep a look out on the right and you can see the bridge in the valley with the river in the foreground. Stunning! The journey itself is worth it.
Nobody else seems to tell people how to find it; some suggest it's well hidden. Well, it's not, and it IS definitely worth a visit if you are near Elmira, Ontario.It's one minute off the highway between Guelph and Elmira, ON (County Road 86). You can map it re: location: Covered Bridge Drive, West Montrose, ON N0B 2V0. If you are in the area, it's worth driving into West Montrose...
The whole area between St Jacobs and Elora/Fergus is beautiful country to drive through, and get out and take it all in. The bridge is historic but otherwise nothing special, but it's worth a drive in the area.
Like to go and take in the history of the bridge, last covered bridge in Ontario. Bridge is also a nice backdrop for wedding photography.
Not much else in this area except a beautiful bed & breakfast, this is the last covered bridge in Ontario. It's one minute off the highway between Guelph and Elmira, ON (County Road 86). You can map it re: location: Covered Bridge Drive, West Montrose, ON N0B 2V0. If you are in the area, it's worth driving into West Montrose to get some pictures of your family with this rural icon. (Built in 1880-1881 by John Bear and very well maintained)
My friend and I went for a drive in the countryside around Waterloo and were pleasantly treated to a view of this little town and its covered bridge. It is well worth the trip to see it.
if you have not seen a covered bridge before, go there, else it is not to scenic anymore. being able to drive through it is cool.
This attractive landmark is well hidden but worth tracking down. The bridge is longer than I expected and the deep red colouration looks very nice against the surrounding river and trees. It's clearly been well maintained over the years. Shame you can't get closer to the base for photographs though.
This is a historical covered bridge. I grew up in the immediate area so have been there many times. I have taken visiting friends and relatives there on occasion, There is not much to see but well worth a short stop on the way to Elora from Waterloo.
