"The star attraction in Elora is the Elora Gorge Conservation Area, a magnet for hikers, swimmers, and anyone adventurous enough to go tubing down the rapids of the Grand River." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"Near the town of Elora, Ontario, the Grand River flows through a mile-plus-long gorge, surrounded by limestone cliffs that reach over 70 feet in height. The area is about a two-hour drive from Toronto. Just take Highway 401 west and then Highway 6 north. The park offers recreational activities including swimming, hiking, fishing, and camping, but the area’s real claim to fame is its tubing opportunities.Visitors can rent tubes and safety gear, hike down to the river, and ride downstream over small rapids. A bus waits conveniently at the end of the tubing route to bring tubers back to the starting point. Keep in mind that this tubing trip isn’t for the faint-hearted. The water is occasionally rough, and you’ll likely be dunked into the river a couple of times. If you prefer to stay dry, there are trails alongside the cliffs of the gorge (with helpful barriers, if you’re afraid of heights) which offer beautiful views. For lunch, enjoy a packed lunch or head into the town of Elora to eat at the Cellar Pub and Grill, Boxcar Social, or enjoy a craft beer at the Elora Brewing Company." - MATADOR_NETWORK

If you want to see nature at its best, with rivers that wind around this area with all their glory, and see some amazing things such as the Hole in the Rock, and easy trails, this is a place to be. We went there to go tubing however the whole conservation area was full of great areas including picnic areas (bring your own picnic food like we did), camping, tubing, and trails. I would highly recommend it and strong recommend the tubing (make sure to book it 72 hours ahead of time ideally) as I was such an awesome feeling being pulled by the river. There are even waterfalls there!

*A Natural Wonderland for All Ages Our recent hike at the gorge was an unforgettable experience! The stunning natural rock formations are a sight to behold, offering breathtaking views at every turn. The well-laid paths made the hike enjoyable and accessible, allowing us to fully take in the beauty of the area without difficulty. The gorge was just that! Gorgeous! What impressed me most was how incredibly clean the entire park was—it's clear that a lot of care and effort go into maintaining this natural gem. Despite the rugged landscape, Elora Gorge is very kid-friendly, which made it a perfect family adventure. Even with the steep drop-offs, we felt safe knowing that dangerous areas were carefully fenced off, ensuring everyone could enjoy the scenery without worry. If you're looking for a beautiful, well-maintained place to hike that’s suitable for all ages, I highly recommend visiting!

Elora Gorge Park is a protected area surrounding a deep gorge, and we visited for a walk through the picturesque landscape. We were amazed by the stunning natural beauty, clean environment, and excellent facilities. It seemed like we paid С$8.50 per person and spent the entire day here with friends and their dog.

*only reviewing tubing on the gorge* I went tubing with a few friends and really enjoyed myself! The tubing price was $54 plus the park entrance fee. For the price I likely wouldn't do this again. For the price I'd expect a tube collection service which there isn't. Also due to bridge construction we couldn't park at the finish line to drive back to the drop off so we had to walk 45mins. I don't mind walking but for the price I shouldn't have to walk with all the equipment. However all that said, I really found the gorge beautiful and the (small) rapids were fun! We all had a good time

Enjoyed an early fall weekend here. Nice campground with electric and water hookups available in some sites. Beautiful hiking options around the gorge.

I had an amazing time visiting Elora Gorge. The scenery was breathtaking, and the trails were well-maintained. The experience of walking along the gorge and seeing the waterfalls was unforgettable. I highly recommend Elora Gorge for a nature getaway.

Fantastic!! We come camping here once a year. The staff are very friendly. The sites are alright. Some are really nice covered in grass with nice picnic tables. Some are just mud, but it's camping. It's close to downtown elora which is great. There are several trails in the park as well as a few access points to the river. Facilities are well kept and clean and the firewood is dry and burnes really well. All and all one of the best GRCA campgrounds in my opinion.

There is an entry fees of $8 per person. There are three trails that you can go. They are not tough so can go with kids as well but not with stroller and all. You can enjoy tubing but tickets should be purchased in advance. There are multiple parking lots. You can enjoy a day out with your family but carry your own food and water as there no foods stalls inside that. I didn’t find Look out points much attractive, I think tubing would be fun and that is on my bucket list, will definitely try next time.
