Things To Do in Elora

Experience, year round, the great outdoors amid the beauty and splendor of Elora. For either the novice or experienced adventure enthusiast, Elora has much to offer.

When visiting Elora, be sure to pack an adventurous spirit along with hiking shoes, swim gear, bicycle, and a camera!

Cycle a portion of the Trans-Canada Trail, which links Elora with other rural communities. Or explore the area on walking trails in the village and throughout the Elora Gorge Conservation Area. Discover trails that descend to the river’s edge in the midst of terrific limestone cliffs and caves. Bring a canoe or kayak and paddle the waters, or rent a tube and go “tubing” down the Grand River rapids.

Bissell Park is an open-air location for picnics, skate boarding, football, soccer and ice-skating. It is also the take-off point for hot air balloon rides. Whatever the activity, Elora is surrounded by some of the most spectacular scenery in Southern Ontario.

The Elora Centre for the Arts has creative activities and learning experiences for people of all ages. Summer craft programs are also available at the Wellington County Museum & Archives. The unique Gorge Cinema, housed in a century-old stone building, presents a line-up of the best in art and current films.
