King's Highway 38, commonly referred to as Highway 38, was a provincially maintained highway in the Canadian province of Ontario. The road connects highways 2 and 401 in Kingston with Highway 7 west of Perth.
Highway 38 was designated in 1934 and remained relatively unchanged throughout its existence aside from some minor diversions. At the beginning of 1998, the entire highway was transferred to the City of Kingston and the municipalities of Frontenac County. It is now designated as County Road 38 throughout its length.
County Road 38 is a north–south route located within Frontenac County in eastern Ontario. The southern terminus is at Highway 2 in the northwest corner of suburban Kingston, while the northern terminus is at Highway 7 north of the town of Sharbot Lake, approximately 36 kilometres (22 mi) west of Perth. The road carrying County Road 38 continues south of Highway 401 as Gardiners Road.
There are several communities located along County Road 38 between Kingston and Sharbot Lake, including (from south to north) Harrowsmith, Verona, Godfrey and Parham. The western side of Frontenac Provincial Park is accessible from the route near Verona and Godfrey.
