Ontario Highway 169
King's Highway 169, commonly referred to as Highway 169, was a provincially maintained highway in the Canadian province of Ontario. The highway connected Highway 69 at Foot's Bay with Highway 12 at Brechin southeast of Orillia, a distance of 91.6 km (56.9 mi), including an 18.2 km (11.3 mi) concurrency with Highway 11 between Gravenhurst and Washago.
Highway 169, originally the southern leg of Highway 69, was formed on May 15 1976 when the latter was rerouted along Highway 103 south of Foot's Bay to Waubaushene.
The highway was downgraded from provincial highway to county road status during the highway transfers of 1998. On January 1 of that year, the route was designated as Muskoka District Road 169 from Foot's Bay to Gravenhurst, and Simcoe County Road 169 from Washago to Brechin. Through Muskoka District, the road is also known as the Frank Miller Memorial Route.

Famous quotes containing the word highway:
“Off Highway 106
At Cherrylog Road I entered
The 34 Ford without wheels,
Smothered in kudzu,
With a seat pulled out to run
Corn whiskey down from the hills,”
—James Dickey (b. 1923)
