      • Tertiary Highway 805, commonly referred to as Highway 805, is a provincially maintained access road located within the Nipissing District. A northerly extension of Highway 539A, the road extends for approximately 52.5 kilometres (32.6 mi) to Obabika Lake, providing road access to the Chiniguchi Waterway, Obabika River, and Sturgeon River provincial parks.


      Route description


      Highway 805 is a 52.5-kilometre (32.6 mi) route located northwest of North Bay, serving as a resource access road. There are no established communities along the highway, but it provides access to Sturgeon River Provincial Park and Obabika Lake Provincial Park via trails that branch off the route.
      The route begins at a junction with the northern terminus of Highway 539A near the Sturgeon River, and travels north from that point. Due to the rugged terrain of the Canadian Shield, the winding highway crosses between Sudbury District and Nipissing District several times but generally serves as the boundary between the two. On an average day, only 100 vehicles travel along the route.
      Highway 805, like most other tertiary highways, is not maintained during the winter months.


      History


      Highway 805 was designated in 1962 as a northward extension of Highway 539A, which was also designated that same year, extending into Sudbury District. It was initially an entirely unpaved road, and it remains unpaved to this day.
