O.R. Side Trail - Permanent minor reroute at McQuillan’s Bridge Since the City of Guelph has closed the McQuillan’s bridge, it’s no longer possible for “The O.R.” Side Trail to cross over it. In order to use “The O.R.” Side Trail, coming from the Barber Scout Camp parking lot, it’s now necessary to cross the river on Stone Road. Map on page 27 and text on page 28 (says "cross over the old McQuillan bridge", and that's no longer correct) of 2025 Trail Handbook.
Climb the embankment up to Stone Road, cross over the river and enjoy the view of the historic McQuillan bow string bridge, and then climb back down on the far side. Loop around as shown here, to continue northwards on “The O.R.” Side Trail.
