The Guelph Lake Nature Centre near Guelph offers a variety of programs for schools, families, youth and community groups to get outdoors and connect with nature.
Our unique, hands-on programs teach environmental concepts and foster an appreciation of nature.
The Guelph Lake Nature Centre is part of the 1608-hectare (3,971-acre) property of the Guelph Lake Conservation Area. The nature centre overlooks Guelph Lake and the Guelph Lake Dam. The lake and dam, the Speed River, open fields and a nearby forest provide a diversity of habitats for learning about the natural world.
Program update
Due to changes to the Conservation Authorities Act and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, our outdoor environmental education program is under review and most of our public programs remain suspended. Our school program has resumed with limited offerings. If you would like more information or are interested in scheduling a program at one of our nature centres, please email us.
