Speed River

The Speed River is a river that flows through Wellington County and the Region of Waterloo in western Ontario, Canada. It flows south from its source near Orton, through Guelph, where it is joined by the Eramosa River, then through the towns of Hespeler and Preston, finally uniting with the Grand River in north-west Cambridge.

Guelph Lake

North of Guelph, Guelph Lake was formed as a result of the river being dammed. The dam is one of several features on the river used to prevent flooding in spring. Excess runoff is collected in the 1,700-acre (6.9 km2) Guelph Lake Reservoir which is drained in the previous autumn, and in summer the water is released slowly to regulate the flow of the river.

Parks and conservation areas

Guelph Lake Conservation Area is on the shore of Guelph Lake, which was formed by the damming of the Speed River. It is owned and managed by the Grand River Conservation Authority.

Speed River

by: Tragically Hip

You're visually stunning, I'm almost shivering
You'd become anyone, don't hate who you have to be
Speed river, take me away
Speed river, take me away
Speed river, take me away
Hard stuff, give me a dose of the hard stuff
Okay enough, okay enough of the hard stuff
Speed river, take me away
Speed river, take me away
Speed river, take me away
Away from this, away from this
Awake enough
This feels like I've been here before
You said don't be tough
Let's go back, I said let's go forward
Speed river, take me away
Speed river, took you away
Speed river, took her away
Away from this, away this minute
This house sounds just like a bomb hit it
It's an old sound that says if you asked me to I'd relive it
Speed river, take me away
Speed river, take me away
Speed river, take me away
Away from this, away this minute
Away for one moment
Away from this feeling, from feeling this
Away
Away from this moment
Away from this feeling, from feeling this
Away from this
Away for one moment
Away from this feeling, from feeling this
Away from this moment
