Highway 804 is a tertiary highway in the Canadian province of Ontario, located in the Kenora District.

The highway is 21.4 kilometres long, and connects Highway 105 and the nearby town of Ear Falls with the hydroelectric dam at Lower Manitou Falls [Ontario Kings Highways [http://www.thekingshighway.ca/Hwy804.htm] Highway 804] .

The road was designated Highway 804 on April 25, 1962. It was paved in 1969. At that time, it was the only tertiary highway in Ontario that was paved [Ontario Highways: [http://www.ontariohighways.org/kings_highways.html] Tertiary Highways] , but has now reverted back to a loose gravel surface highway. However, it is still wrongfully marked as paved in the most recent edition of the Ontario Official Road Map [Ontario Official Road
http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/traveller/map/images/pdf/northont/sheets/Map16.pdf] ] . It is maintained throughout the year.
