Lake Eugenia
The small community of Eugenia was first settled in the 1850s, when enterprising hopefuls flocked to Eugenia Falls during the “Eugenia Gold Rush”.
The region, only 1 1/2 hours from Toronto, has become popular with cottagers who enjoy using Lake Eugenia for leisure activities and great fishing (Largemouth and Rock Bass, Perch, Sunfish and Bullhead Catfish). The lake is man-made creation, initially created in the 1950s as a reservoir for a hydro-electric dam that still operates today.

Berkeley / Chatsworth
Berkeley is a rural community in the township of Chatsworth, Grey County minutes north of the town Markdale which provides all necessary amenities, and approximately 29 kms south of Owen Sound, the closest city.
Like most other local areas, the village was settled by British immigrants in the 1800s. Initially known as Holland and for a time as Chipmunk Corners, the name of the village was changed to Berkeley in the late 1870s, in recognition of the town of Berkeley, England. The village itself it largely residential which makes it ideal for those seeking a respite from the hustle and bustle of busier locations. Green spaces, horse farms, and quiet country living on large lots makes this location a favoured location for families, hobby farmers and nature lovers.
Priceville
The village of Priceville sits on Grey Road #4 between Flesherton and Durham.
Cottagers and full-time residents alike are attracted to the rolling hills, meandering river and casual friendliness that Priceville has in spades.
The Saugeen River criss-crosses the area, allowing for swimming holes, picnic areas and fishing as well as canoeing and kayaking.
Local children make good use of “Priceville Hill” for tobogganing, the playground and baseball diamond, as well as the newly created outdoor skating rink at the local community hall, Stothart Hall.
