Ontario Highway 650

Highway 650 begins in the west at Highway 112, travelling southeast through the community of Dane. It passes several residences and turns east. The highway exits the community and crosses the Ontario Northland Railway (ONR), east of which the road is sparsely travelled. It zig-zags southeast through dense forest. After crossing a swamp, the highway curves to the northeast and passes beneath two high-tension transmission lines. It then curves to the south, crossing a spur of the ONR built to serve the mine, after which the road is privately maintained. == History ==

Highway 650 was designated on April 1, 1964, following an access road to the newly opened mine east from Dane. The route was gravel-surfaced at the time; it was paved in its entirety by mid-1967. The route has remained unchanged since then. Despite the closure of the mine in 1990, the road remained a provincial route through the 1997 and 1998 highway transfers; its annual average daily traffic is 30 vehicles, the second lowest of any provincially maintained highway. == Major intersections ==
