Kawartha Lakes Road 49, known locally as East Street North in Bobcaygeon, is a municipally-maintained class-3 roadway (with the exception of a 0.4-kilometre (0.2 mi) class-4 section at the southern end) located in the city of Kawartha Lakes, in the Canadian province of Ontario. The 18-kilometre-long (11 mi) route begins in Bobcaygeon at a junction with former Highway 36, and proceeds north along the boundary between Kawartha Lakes and Peterborough County to a junction with Highway 121 just south of Kinmount.
The route was designated as Highway 500 in 1956. A major renumbering resulted in it becoming Highway 649 in 1964. The route remained generally unchanged until it was decommissioned and transferred to Victoria County at the beginning of 1998; it then became County Road 49. In 2001, Victoria County was restructured as the City of Kawartha Lakes, but the road retained the same number.
The road runs in a predominantly north–south direction and covers a distance of 18.0 kilometres (11.2 mi). The road crosses primarily rural geography between its southern terminus, City Road 36 (Main Street), and northern terminus, City Road 121, with the exception of the village of Bobcaygeon at its southern terminus. The road crosses the boundary between the Ordovician limestone to the south and the granite Canadian Shield to the north, resulting in a hilly landscape with many large rock outcroppings.
