The Terry Fox Courage Highway was designated on July 30, 1981 in honour of Terry Fox, whose Marathon of Hope reached as far as Thunder Bay and who died a month prior. The route begins there and follows Highway 11 and Highway 17 for 83 km (52 mi) to Nipigon. It travels northeast along the shore of Lake Superior, and also forms part of the Lake Superior Circle Tour.
The route is well signed throughout its length.
