Tertiary Highway 810, commonly referred to as Highway 810, is a provincially maintained access road, extending from Bull Lake to Richie Falls on the Aux Sables River system north of Massey. A northerly extension of Highway 553, the road was formerly part of that highway until 1976, when it was downgraded from secondary to tertiary status and renumbered as 810.

Route description

Highway 810 is the southernmost tertiary highway in the province and is located approximately 100 kilometres (62 mi) west of Sudbury. A large portion of the route follows alongside the River aux Sables in the River aux Sables Provincial Park.[2] There is relatively little human habitation along Highway 810, owing to the extremely remote and rugged location. On an average day, only 50 vehicles travel along the route.[1] The highway begins 33.3 kilometres (20.7 mi) north of Highway 17, at Whisky Lake Road. At this point, Highway 553 ends and Highway 810 begins, travelling north through the Canadian Shield. As it snakes northward parallel with the River aux Sables, the route passes several resource access roads which travel even further into the wilderness.[2] The highway ends at Ritchie Falls, 42.6 kilometres (26.5 mi) north of its southern terminus, after which the roadway that carried it continues as a forest access road.[1]

Highway 810, like most other tertiary highways, is not maintained by the Ministry of Transportation during the winter months.
