Easterly view along Highway 670 from the Highway
638 junction. The signs pictured at the beginning of Highway 670
convey Highway 670's full story. It is just shy of 10km in length, it
is unpaved for all of that distance. Despite the winding road signage,
most of Highway 670 is fairly tame, however there are times when the highway
goes in directions the driver may not have expected it to go.
Furthermore, despite the 80km/h speed limit, I wouldn't trust myself to
drive that quickly on this road.

The Algoma countryside that Highway 670 passes through is quite unique.
The road passes through rugged, rocky mountainous terrain that is punctuated
with smooth, fertile and prosperous farmland. The southern part of
Algoma District is one of Ontario's hidden gems. Photo taken:

Fingerboard signage at the eastern terminus of Highway 670. Highway
670 ends at a very arbitrary location. The local road network
continues in all directions from this location. Highway 129 is
accessible from the Shaw Road .
