Guelph lake is build in 1974 by construction of Guelph lake dam over Speed River. The dam is one of several features on the river used to prevent flooding in spring. Excess runoff is collected in the Guelph lake reservoir which has been drained the previous autumn, and in summer the water is released slowly to regulate the flow of the river.

The conservation area beside the lake is near 1,608 hectare (3,971 acre) which has two beaches itself. It is home to a sailing club and there's excellent fishing. It is possible to rent the canoe or boat and enjoy canoing there. In winter it is open for ice fishing. There is a newly developed concert area with a unique living roof in an island in the middle of the lake.

Guelph lake is the closest conservation area to the Guelph and it is just located east off Victoria Road north, north east of Guelph.
