Highway 511
This is a quiet regional highway. Frequently used by motorcycles and some local traffic, but never very busy. Two lanes of good pavement. A few tight turns and continuous interesting sweepers. Travels through wooded lake country and rolling farms. Many maple trees yield spectacular colours in autumn. Gas and Rest Breaks available at Lanark, Perth, Calabogie.

Head south on 508 from Burnstown. There's a nice picnic area & washrooms on the left about 5 Km before the town of Calabogie. At the intersection in the town of Calabogie turn left onto highway 511. Gas and food are available at this intersection, and other services in town. Alternate: follow my "backroads to Calabogie" instructions, to the T on highway 511, then head South. In the town of Lanark, stay North-South to stay on 511 and go to Perth, or turn West on regional road #12 to head through McDonalds Corners and into the "Ompah-Plevna Loop". |
Take highway 17 west from Ottawa to the Arnprior area. all the way to the intersection of highway 508, then turn south and go to Burnstown.
