Hoggs Falls
Hoggs Falls is often thought of as Grey County's best kept secret - and it's no different in the winter. Although the falls is only 7 metres high, the volume of water from the Boyne River and the picturesque background creates a breathtaking scene that is postcard perfect. The site is very rustic and underdeveloped and requires a short hike from the parking lot to the falls along the Bruce Trail. Use caution and following the Bruce Trail markings towards the falls and be careful as the viewing point is along the steep river bank.
