King's Highway 94, commonly referred to as Highway 94, is a provincially maintained highway in the Canadian province of Ontario that serves as a southeast bypass of North Bay. The route begins at Highway 654, near an interchange with Highway 11 south of Callander. It connects with Highway 17 after passing near Corbeil, a total distance of 12.4 kilometres (7.7 mi).
Highway 94 was first assumed in 1937 to provide tourist access to the Dionne Quintuplets, whom lived near Corbeil. It was extended by several kilometres along the former alignment of Highway 11 when the Callander Bypass opened in 1987. Otherwise, the route has remained unchanged.
Highway 94 is a 12.4-kilometre (7.7 mi) route that begins at Highway 654 south of Callander, adjacent to an interchange with Highway 11. The route travels north from there, somewhat parallel to the divided four lane Highway 11 to the east. Bypassing east of Callander, Highway 94 turns east at Lansdowne Street. It curves northeast and crosses Highway 11. Weaving east and northeast, the highway passes through an area dominated by thick forests, though residences regularly dot both sides of the highway. Straightening to an eastward orientation, the highway approaches Corbeil, but makes a sharp 90 degree curve to the north. After crossing railway tracks, the route continues north for 1.9 kilometres (1.2 mi) before terminating at Highway 17. Highway 94 is situated entirely within Nipissing District. The Highway is longer north-south than it is east west, but it is signed as an east-west highway.
