Kawartha Lakes Road 8 (known locally by various names, including Glenarm Road, Colborne Street and Duke Street) is a municipally-maintained class-3 roadway^[2] located in the city of Kawartha Lakes, in the Canadian province of Ontario. The road crosses the entire city from west to east, passing through two towns along the way, Fenelon Falls, and Bobcaygeon. The road runs in a predominantly east–west direction and covers a distance of 45.9 kilometres (28.5 mi).^[1][3] The road crosses primarily rural geography,^[1] with the exception of the two towns and two unincorporated communities, Argyle and Glenarm, between its western terminus, Simcoe Street and eastern terminus, East Street (Kawartha Lakes Road 36).^[3]

Prior to 1 January 1998, the portion of Kawartha Lakes Road 8 between Highway 35 and Fenelon Falls was designated as Highway 35A.
