List of Ontario secondary highways
This is a list of secondary highways in Parry Sound District, many of which provide access to isolated settlements and recreational properties within the Parry Sound District of Ontario.
Secondary Highway 518, commonly referred to as Highway 518, is a provincially maintained secondary highway in the Canadian province of Ontario. Highway518 spans 72.7 kilometres (45.2mi) between Parry Sound and Kearney. It serves as one of the many links between Highway400 and Highway11. The highway was assumed in 1956, and has remained generally unchanged since, aside from being truncated slightly at both ends.
The highway links several remote First Nation hamlets to the major highway routes of the region. However, the only places of noteworthy size are the village of Magnetawan and the town of Burk's Falls. It is concurrent with Highway124 for 15.4 kilometres (9.6mi).
Secondary Highway 522B, commonly referred to as Highway 522B, is a provincially maintained highway in the Canadian province of Ontario. The highway is 1.9 kilometres (1.2mi) in length, connecting Highway522 within Trout Creek with Highway11 to the north. The highway was created in late 2002 when the Trout Creek Bypass of Highway11 opened; Highway522B forms a portion of the former routing.
The highway serves as an access road to most of the communities in Carling Township, as well as the current northern terminus of Highway400 as of 2010.[4]
Secondary Highway 612, commonly referred to as Highway 612, is a secondary highway in the Canadian province of Ontario. Located in the Parry Sound District, the highway extends for 4.4 kilometres (2.7mi) from a junction with Lake Joseph Road, the former route of Highway69, outside of Gordon Bay to the boundary of Parry Sound District with the regional municipality of Muskoka near a junction with Healey Lake Road.
At the boundary, the roadway continues southward as Muskoka Road 11 through MacTier. Prior to 1997, this county road was also part of Highway612.

At the boundary, the roadway continues southward as Muskoka Road7 through the communities of Minett, Gregory and Port Sandfield. Prior to 1997, this county road was also part of Highway632.
Highway632 was first assumed by the Department of Highways, predecessor to the modern Ministry of Transportation, in Parry Sound District on July20, 1961 at a length of 10.5 kilometres (6.5mi). One week later, on July29, another 16.1 kilometres (10.0mi) within what was then just Muskoka District was assumed as part of the highway.[5]
When the District Municipality of Muskoka was created in 1971, secondary highways within its boundaries were transferred to Muskoka and redesignated as part of its county road network.

Two new Ontario road numbers appear on the province's 1956 official road map which will be ready for distribution next week. The new numbers are the 500 and 600 series and designate hundreds of miles of secondary roads which are wholly maintained by the Highways Department. More than 100 secondary roads will have their own numbers and signs this year. All of these secondary roads were taken into the province's main highways system because they form important connecting links with the King's Highways
