U.S. Route 301, a major north-south highway before the Interstate system was built runs through the county. Just off Rt. 301 north of Mechanicsville is Hanover Wayside Park, which includes picnic shelters, walking trails, playgrounds, volleyball courts, horseshoe pits, and the Hanover Veterans Memorial. The memorial honors military veterans killed in hostile action from World War I to the present day.
