Overall the conservation area, the trails, the caves, mill ruins and small falls makes a perfect one day picnic spot for all ages.. greatly enjoyed it! I must suggest that you reach early to find a good spot for picnic and once the capacity is reached the park entry is closed. Make sure to check live updates on Ontario parks webpage on capacity or any restriction like unsafe water etc.

A Hidden Gem! Went there for a family hike over Thanksgiving weekend. The trails were accessible, easy to follow and scenic. I liked that there were benches along the way so people could sit and rest. We were able to have a little family picnic in the middle of the woods which was very nice! There are options for longer Trails as well as shorter Trails depending on what you're looking to do. The trails are easy to bike on as well. And easy to use with strollers.

It is nice place. It Is pity that the mill ruins are fenced off instead of supporting and restoring

Beautiful ruins. Used to be a great place for photos and family time. Unfortunately, access inside the ruins has been closed for the last few years for safety reasons. Rockwood is still a great place to visit.

This is a beautiful spot. Parking now is right in front of this. There is a fence but still a good spot to take lovely pictures. Close to the ruins is a small dam and possible to take the trails from here

So interesting to see something like this and the age of the structure preserved, well much of it. 136 years later we are all walking around it taking pictures and most not knowing it's history. Once the mainstay of Rockwood's economy, this mill was first established in 1867 on the Eramosa River. The original wooden mill burned and was replaced by the current limestone structure in 1884. The caves is a must see as they are very interesting. The views from up high above everything are breath taking.

It was very beautiful, and if you're a photographer or if you're a movie director this would be a great place to film in or to take pictures. You can either walk through forests or take a walk on a path. This place also has an old castle which is beautiful, but I sadly didn't take any of the castle.

If your at Rockwood Conservation Area this is a must visit. It is fenced off to the public but you can get fairly close, and if you have a kayak, canoe or paddle board you can get even closer though a small inlet off the river near by really cool piece of history to check out!
