By the late 1990s, Highway 513 had been downloaded to local authority and has since been known as Scotch Bush Road.

It travelled northeast from the middle of Dacre, meandering alongside Constant Creek until it crossed it at the hamlet of Balaclava.

The route continued wandering north to the east of Constant Lake, eventually straightening out at Watson Road before encountering the hamlet of Scotch Bush.

[5] Although houses dot the former highway throughout its present length, the majority of the surroundings comprise thick forests south of Scotch Bank, and pastures north of there.

[6] Geographically, the route was within the Ottawa-Bonnechere Graben, and is situated just south of the Bonnechere River.
