Rockwood Conservation Area, Conservation area and campground in Wellington County, Canada
The Eramosa River flows through limestone cliffs in this protected area, featuring extensive cave networks, glacial potholes, and forested hiking trails.
The Grand River Conservation Authority acquired the land in 1959, transforming a former woolen mill site into a public recreational space that opened in 1963.
The conservation area maintains educational programs at Rockwood Nature Centre, teaching visitors about local wildlife, geology, and environmental preservation.
The park offers 105 campsites, including serviced and unserviced options, with access to swimming, canoeing, fishing, and mini golf from May through October.
The geological formations include more than 200 potholes carved by glacial activity, with numerous caves containing stalactites and limestone columns.
