    There's lots of reviews that are better worded and more accurate, but I will say this: build your own adventure at the Gorge. Out of all the things you could do or see, I find it most fun to get down to, and walk along, the water's edge. There's cool caves, rocks, graffiti art and more to see.
    If you don't know what you're looking for or what to do, it can be a bit disappointing.

    The Elora gorge falls are not spectacular in any sense, but they help add to the charm of the town. They can be viewed from multiple places - like the elora mill, victoria park or the pedestrian walkway in downtown - all of them provide different views beautiful in their own way.
    Sunset from the pedestrian bridge would be my preferred spot.
    Worth a visit for sure.

    We drove to Elora, Ontario on a day trip. It is a small town in Ontario but fantastic. There were lots of people in the downtown area but walking around was a breeze. Parking was FREE! We walked to the gorge area and then took the free shuttle bus! That was exceptional! The guide Frederic was polite, friendly, well spoken and very knowledgeable. The seats in the shuttle bus were wide, comfortable and had lots of leg room. To top it all there was a person singing and playing the guitar. The trip took us to various stops and a nearby village Fergus.. So we got to see the area without having to drive around and search maps. If you go to Elora ( you should), do NOT miss going around in the free shuttle bus.

    I hd tried to come many times and finally today we made it. It was a disappointment to be honest. The water is clean and the backdrop is beautiful but it’s nothing to write home about. Too expensive and too far if you live in Toronto..The washroom next to the beach is disgusting. The other one near the cliff is much better. The beach is tiny and crowded. The trail is closed (even in summertime) and the rules are not enforced. People were smoking weed and vaping and the park rangers were not paying attention. Parking is 15, entrance 10 per person and there’s literally nothing else to do. Would not recommend. Go to the Gorge instead.

    Normally too crowded and too warm in the summer, the fall foliage makes the bike trip great in the fall, and certainly less boring. An easy trail, well maintained and easy to do with any bike. Limited attractions on the course

    This is a lovely place, good walking routes for those who want to but easy to reach view points for those that don't. Quite a surprise for those that don't know about it as it is cut into the landscape. well looked after and a lovely day out.

    Do not go out of your way or expect to be overwhelmed. It is a nice little park with a walk enough to stretch a bit. If you like clambering through the bush you can get to the dam by the river.

    Grandriver Raceway. Friday evening is a lot of fun. The Raceway works hard to include the public via games before some races.

    Bissell Park is a small park and green space in Elora, Ontario. It’s the site of Riverfest Elora and the weekly Elora Farmers Market that happens every Saturday.
    The Elora Market has a interesting selection of vendors. It is located near the small waterfalls so you can enjoy the music and food from the market.It is a nice place to spend your Saturdays

    I was fortunate enough to find out about an exhibit at the Elora Centre of the Arts while visiting last weekend. It was a fantastic space, with welcoming staff and the exhibit was really inspiring. A must see if you're in this little gem of a village!

    This store closed down September of 2015. They are instead creating an online store that is as of now not yet running. But if you go to their website you can redirect to Sweet Trash on Etsy.

    It was relatively quiet when we visited and enjoyed a rest from all our driving. The park is well looked after and clean. Good for families and to have a picnic.
