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:
“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
“To give an accurate description of what has never occurred is not merely the proper occupation of the historian, but the inalienable privilege of any man of parts and culture.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
