About
The Grand River flows through the bottom of the gorge, approximately Шаблон:Convert long, with limestone cliffs reaching Шаблон:Convert high.[1] It was formed from glacial meltwaters from the previous ice age. The area includes a park with camping sites, hiking trails, and is also popular for kayaking and tubing.
Located nearby is the "old swimming hole", at the Elora Quarry Conservation Area, a 0.8 hectare (two acre) former limestone quarry encircled by sheer cliffs up to Шаблон:Convert high. Elora Quarry did not become a conservation area until 1976, but it was a popular swimming area long before that.
The Elora Gorge Falls are a roughly Шаблон:Convert tall waterfall located upstream from the Elora Gorge.[2]
Popular activities at the site include: camping, canoeing, fishing, hiking, cycling, swimming, picnicking, and tubing.
The Quarry served as a film location in the 2017 adaptation of Stephen King’s novel It, as well as its 2019 sequel.[3]
