From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Highway 599 is a long and isolated road in the Kenora District of Northwestern Ontario, starting at the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 17) near Ignace. It travels through the dense forests and hills of Kenora District and ends in Pickle Lake. It also connects the town of Central Patricia to the rest of the province and its highway network, and Pickle Crow, via Highway 646. It is the longest secondary highway in Ontario, at about 292 km (181 miles) in length. It is also the northernmost highway in Ontario maintained by the MTO.
The road also links up with the Northern Ontario Resource Trail, which used to be a part of Highway 599, and then Highway 808. The Resource Trail is paved for only the first 3 km (1.8 miles) of its length, and is gravel for the rest of its length. It links up with winter roads that travel to isolated communities of Northern Ontario even farther north, terminating at the northern shore of Wendigo Lake.
The road is very lightly travelled, and it is advised that one fills up with fuel before embarking on the road, as services are few and far between on the highway.
