It was established in 1956, along with most of the secondary highway system in the province, and is little changed since then.

It curves north between exposed rock formations and is promptly surrounded by forests.

The undulating highway curves several times as it passes by the occasional residence or summer cottage.

It curves northwest around the muskeg as Arrow Drive, an old alignment of the highway, diverges to the west.

The route passes several grass fields and houses before ending at an intersection with Highway 124, 64 kilometres (40 mi) east of Parry Sound and 23 kilometres (14 mi) west of Sundridge.
