Ontario is full of historic structures, hidden gems and fairytale locations if you know where to look for them. One such place is found in a small town you’ve probably never even heard of.
The Pakenham Five Span Bridge is a dreamy stone structure that shouldn’t be overlooked if you’re adventuring near Ottawa. It is considered to be the only bridge of its kind in all of North America and is even thought to be one of the only in the world outside of Russia.
The bridge was built back in 1903 and has been restored thanks to the community’s love for it, as opposed to it being torn down. The five stone arches cross over the Mississippi River and rapids and you can walk under one of these arches near the water’s edge.
