That said, Calabogie is such a quick/easy drive from Ottawa now that we should expect more development at the resort and surrounding lakes. I would love to see the ski hill get a bit more attention as the tallest hill in the region other than Mont Ste Marie.

I've heard that detailed design hasn't even begun beyond Calabogie Road, so it will be a while.
Meanwhile, it will be interesting to see if Burnstown starts growing too.

What route do you take ? I have been driving this route for thirty years.

My family has a cottage on Crane Lake, west of Muskoka.

We drive 417 W- > 17 W > Cobden -> Hwy 60 W to Huntsville -> Hwy 11 S -> Muskoka rd 3 W -> Rosseau -> 141 W -> N old Hwy 69 -> Jacklin Cres to lake.

We sometime take Bruce St through Renfrew and then Hwy 60 W instead of going to Cobden, we often stop in Pikwakanagan (Golden Lake) for cheap gas and Barry's Bay at the Dairy Freeze.
