As the Elora Gorge Conservation Area, it is one of many conservation areas owned by the Grand River Conservation Authority. AboutThe Grand River flows through the bottom of the gorge, approximately {{convert|2|km}} long, with limestone cliffs reaching {{convert|22|m}} high.[2] 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 {{convert|12|m}} 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 {{convert|25|ft|m|abbr=on}} tall waterfall located upstream from the Elora Gorge.[3] 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.[4] Notes1. ^World Database on Protected Areas{{dead link|date=January 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.grandriver.ca/index/document.cfm?Sec=27&Sub1=124|publisher=Grand River Conservation Authority|title=Elora Gorge Conservation Area|accessdate=2008-05-18|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20061022204448/http://www.grandriver.ca/index/document.cfm?Sec=27&Sub1=124|archivedate=2006-10-22|df=}} 3. ^Elora Gorge Falls - Great Lakes Waterfalls & Beyond 4. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.therecord.com/news-story/7545359-local-landmarks-shine-on-the-big-screen-in-it-/ |date=8 September 2017|title=Local landmarks shine on the big screen in ‘It’|publisher=Waterloo Region Record}} References
