Saugeen Shores
Directions: Exit 88 from QEW to Centennial Parkway to Van Wagners Beach
Road. Go past Confederation Park to Hutch's Restaurant for nearby parking.
The Townsend sewage lagoons can be found by following the sign for
Townsend, which is on #6 highway south of Hagersville, turn left on Keith
Richardson Parkway, and continue to the second turning on the right, which
is County Rd.14. The Lagoons are just up the road on your right, park well
away from the gate, as trucks will be turning in. Remember there are no
trespassing signs posted, so be aware of this.
