Facebook GroupYou can easily spend a whole afternoon in Elora, including waterfalling as well as quaint shopping and dining. This is one of Ontario's 'waterfall towns'. The falls is split by the infamous 'Tooth of Time', a large rock knob that somehow avoided erosion by the Grand River.
Unfortunately, it is getting harder to view the falls. This is because of condo development on both sides of the river. However, by walking up the hill on Price St, turning left on Church St, you can follow a municipal trail into the woods. This soon gives a look back at at the falls. This site is rated 4 stars; views of the falls itselt would now limit it to 2 stars, but there is lots more to see in Elora. See the entry for the Irvine Gorge.
This waterfall is featured in the 'Waterfalls of Ontario' book. Please pick up a copy to learn more. This helps to support this project.
