Within this vast uninhabited region, Highway560 is the closest public road to the highest point in Ontario, Ishpatina Ridge. At Elk Lake, the route provides access to Makobe - Grays River Provincial Park and then meets Highway 65, with which it shares a concurrency. It continues another through dense forests before suddenly emerging into the Ottawa-Bonnechere Graben. The remaining of Highway560 travels through agricultural lands, as well as the community of Charlton (where it intersects Highway 573), before ending at Highway11 on the western edge of Englehart.
