The Sydenham River flows through the heart of Owen Sound, beginning at the junction of the Rocky Saugeen and Beatty Saugeen Rivers before emptying into Georgian Bay. This section through Harrison Park winds through the wooded valley lined with walking paths, bridges, and gardens, creating a peaceful setting that feels surprisingly natural within the city. The calm stretch of water, mature trees, and seasonal wildlife make this section of the river a popular place to pause and enjoy the scenery.
