Route Description
Highway 60 begins at an interchange with Highway 11 in Huntsville. It crosses through central Ontario in a generally east–west orientation. The triangle-shaped area bounded by Highways 11, 17 and 60 is largely uninhabited wilderness dotted with lakes and muskeg.
An Ontario Parks visitor's permit is not required to drive through Algonquin Park or access the Visitor's Centre. However, one is required for the use of any trails or similar facilities within the park boundary. Moose and deer are very common through Algonquin, especially at night and in the morning, and present a major driving hazard.
Highway 60 exits the park in the Township of South Algonquin and carries on east intersecting with Highway 127. Beyond Highway 127, it passes through the Ottawa Valley, following the historic "Opeongo Line" to Barry's Bay and continuing through Golden Lake and Eganville until Renfrew where it ends at a junction with Highway 17.
A 4 km (2.5 mi) section of Highway 60, between Golden Lake and Eganville, is multiplexed with Highway 41.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
“Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built. Nor let us look down on the standpoint of the theory as make-believe; for we can never do better than occupy the standpoint of some theory or other, the best we can muster at the time.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
