Highway 69/400 looking north from Horseshoe Lake Road. Horseshoe Lake
Road is a Parclo AB2, and is probably the lowest traveled interchange in
Ontario. The primary reason for the Horseshoe Lake Road overpass is to
provide a grade separation for a multiuse trail facility running through the
area. Horseshoe Lake Road itself, is but a minor township road.
