The Eramosa River is a river in Wellington County in southwestern Ontario which rises near Erin, Ontario, and flows southwest through the city of Guelph, where it joins the Speed River, which then enters the Grand River in Cambridge.[1] The river is believed to derive its name from the Mississauga word um-ne-mo-sah, meaning "black dog" or "dead dog".[2][3]
