Highway 118 travels from Highway 11 near Muskoka Falls, southeast of Bracebridge, to Highway 28 in Paudash. The highway generally follows near the 45th parallel north. East of Tory Hill, the highway follows the historic Monck Road colonization road.[2]

The total length of Highway 118 is 127.8 kilometres (79.4 mi).[1] It is situated in Muskoka District and Haliburton County with a small section in Hastings County at its eastern terminus.[2]

Communities between the western and eastern ends are Uffington (a short distance off Highway 118), Vankoughnet (also nearby, off-route), Carnarvon, West Guilford, Haliburton, Tory Hill, Cardiff.[2]

History

Highway 118 passes through a half-kilometre rock cut between Milford Bay and Port Carling, one of the longest in the province

Prior to 1998, Highway 118's western terminus was Highway 169 in Glen Orchard, making the total road length 116.1 kilometres (72.1 mi) from that point to Haliburton. On January 1, 1998, 26.6 kilometres (16.5 mi) of Highway 118, between Highway 169 and Highway 11 was redesignated as Muskoka Regional Road 118 West. A majority of that route is also cosigned as the Frank Miller Memorial Route.

Before 2003, Highway 118's eastern terminus was in Haliburton, at a junction with Highway 121. In 2003, Highway 121 was renumbered east of Haliburton as Highway 118.
