Heritage Plaques of The Ottawa Valley
The Opeongo Road

Plaque Location
The County of Renfrew
The Township of Madawaska Valley
In Barry's Bay, in front of the post office on the north side of Highway 60 at Road 62

Plaque Summary
Part of a network of colonization roads constructed by the government to open the hinterland for settlement, the Opeongo Road was completed as a winter road from Farrells Landing (Castleford) to Opeongo Lake by 1854. The offer of free, 100-acre lots along the road attracted many settlers to Renfrew County.
