The Elora Gorge is a stretch of the Grand River flanked by natural 22-metre limestone cliffs. There are riverside trails and scenic outlooks that provide hikers with incredible vantage points over the river. The conservation area is an amazing site for outdoor activities like fishing, picnicking, tubing, cycling, kayaking and canoeing. With its gorgeous scenic views and excellent hiking trails, this day trip is an accessible option for outdoorsy types of all ages.
If you’re more of an outdoorsy gal, take a trip 40 minutes outside the city to this picturesque (read: highly Instagrammable) campground. Whether you’re looking to rough it or do a little glamping, the park conveniently offers something for everyone. Those celebrating a summer wedding can try out a little Grand River tubing or just have a much-needed slumber party with the pals in the wilderness.
