Secondary Highway 518 - www.OntHighways.com

Highway 518 is an east-west route running from Highway 69/400 south of Parry Sound to the small community of Kearney east of Highway 11 near Algonquin Park.  Before 1998 the highway continued east of Kearney wrapping around the Sand Lake finally terminating in the community of the same name.  The highways length was again shortened in 2001 when the first stage of the Parry Sound by-pass opened to traffic.  The highway was scaled back 1.8km when Highway 69 was routed onto the Parry Sound By-pass away from what is now Oastler Park Drive (Highway 7241).
