This is a list of secondary highways in Algoma District, most of which serve as logging roads or provide access to isolated and sparsely populated areas in the Algoma District of northeastern Ontario.
Some of the shorter ones are also access routes for communities with moderate amounts of tourism, most famously St. Joseph Island's highway 548.
The route connects several mining and milling towns in Unorganized Algoma District, notably Searchmont.
The route is remote, ending at a mine access road 14.2 kilometres (8.8 mi) north of Highway 556, its southern terminus.
The highway connects the hamlets of Richard's Landing and Hilton Beach, and guides tourists to Fort St. Joseph.

[4] The remainder, between Town Line Road and Carmen's Way, is maintained by the city of Sault Ste.
In 1991, the Ministry of Transportation issued a report which proposed that the route be extended to meet Spine Road in Elliot Lake,[5] creating an alternate route which would reduce the length of a commute between Elliot Lake and Blind River by approximately 20 kilometres compared to the current routes of Highway 17 and Highway 108.
[5] While the ministry has not announced a plan to proceed with the construction, in 2015 Elliot Lake's city council passed a motion calling for the project to be revived.
Its western terminus is at Highway 17 in the hamlet of Heyden, just north of Sault Ste.
Despite its relatively poor surface, it is considered an alternate link between Chapleau and Sault Ste.
Commencing at a junction with Highway 17 in the town of Blind River, the highway extends northerly for 22.9 km (14.2 mi) to the shore of Matinenda Lake, providing the primary road access to Matinenda Lake Provincial Park as well as to rural parts of the town of Blind River and the neighbouring Mississauga First Nation.
