Besides marine travel, Upper Canada had a few [[Post road]]s or footpaths used for transportation by horse or stagecoaches along the key settlements between London to Kingston.

The road was further extended eastward with new capital of [[York, Upper Canada|York]] in 1795. his road was eventually known as [[Ontario Highway 5|Dundas Road]].

A second route was known as '''Lakeshore Road or York Road''' which was built from York to [[Trent River (Ontario)|Trent River]] from 1799 to 1900 and later extended eastwards to [[Kingston, Ontario|Kingston]] in 1817. This road was later renamed as [[Ontario Highway 2|Kingston Road]].
