Low level bridge at Elora Gorge closed for 2018
Due to weather events in 2017 and 2018, the low level bridge at Elora Gorge Park was damaged by high water flows and is now closed and will remain closed for 2018. The GRCA is investigating next steps in order to repair the bridge, which is used by campers and visitors to access the north side of the park.
We have been able to open a limited number of campsites on the north side in areas E and F, and will be providing limited access into the park through an entrance on Middlebrook Road. All day-use and camping permits must be purchased and will be issued at the main gate entrance. In order to access the north side of the park, day-use visitors and campers will be required to exit and re-enter the park via the Middlebrook Road entrance. In addition, firewood and ice may only be purchased at the main entrance. Permits will be checked at the north entrance by a gate attendant and/or security. Camping is still available on the south side of the park in Areas A, B and C; however, traffic between the two sides within the park is not currently permitted. The shuttle bus for tubing will not be operating in 2018.
