1. Forgotten at Pilkington Overlook

The Overlook is a great place for hiking in spring or autumn, but it is also home to several abandoned treasures left on a hill. Two full vehicles and some assorted parts torn off including the hood of a Ford Meteor.

GPS Coordinates are approximate but as accurate as I could find. These cars are hidden up the riverbank in a nest of trees - instead of walking down the steep hill, head straight west to the river from the parking area. Be careful of exposed springs, glass, and sharp metal. Bring a pair of rubber boots if you plan on walking down to the river - the areas is very marshy!

2. Foundry Building- Elora

Built in 1822 as the Potter & Matheison Foundry, this building once produced nuts & bolts. In the 1870's it produced farming equipment. In 1874 the building was damaged by fire. In 1916 the building was purchased by John Mundell who transformed it into "Mundell Kiddy Kar & Furniture Factory". In 1979 the factory was used as a set in the movie "An American Christmas Carol" starring Henry Winkler. It was gutted by a fire shortly after.

3. Belwood Abandoned Bridge

Old concrete bridge in the forest on The Grand River near Belwood. Didn't see a date stamped on it so i don't know how old it is. It was built long before the Shand Dam in 1940's, creating Belwood Lake, so the river would have been much smaller and narrower back then. Now, its part of the lake in the spring and summer. A large muskrat or small beaver scared the jeepers out of me when it smacked the water lol , darn critter.
