History
Highway 60 was assumed on April 1, 1937, when the Department of Northern Development was amalgamated by the Department of Highways. At that time, Highway 60 ended in Lake Dore, north of Eganville and was 218.2 km (135.6 mi) long. In 1976, the section through Algonquin Park was dedicated in honour of the 35 years of service by Frank Archibald MacDougall: ten years as park superintendent and 25 as Deputy Minister of Lands and Forests. It is referred to as the Frank MacDougall Parkway.
