Hanover
At the geographic centre of Saugeen Country, Hanover is "The Place to Be" for southern Grey County's shopping, dining, and horse racing. At the junction of County Road 4 and Bruce Road 10, the Town enjoys parkland and a walking trail along the Saugeen River. Fishing, hiking, and snowmobiling are just some of the outdoor pleasures for the active visitor to Hanover.
