Voyageur Route

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Voyageur Route is an Ontario Tourist Route, starting at the Manitoba-Ontario border on Highway 17, passing through Kenora, Ontario and continuing to Highway 71. The route turns south, following Highway 71 for its entire length until it meets Highway 11 between Barwick, Ontario and Emo, Ontario. It follows Highway 11, having Highway 17 re-join it at the town of Shabaqua Corners, Ontario, continuing along Highway 11/17 through Thunder Bay, Ontario, and follows Highway 17 to its terminus with Kings Highway 417 Voyageurs were ordinary workman of the fur trade.

This route is most likely no longer signed, particularly on parts east of Pembroke, Ontario and in Northwestern Ontario. This route also shares much of its routing with the Frontier Route, Great River Road, and Heritage Highway.
