Scenic Route from Ottawa This is one of the most scenic routes in all of Ontario though not recommended during winter months. Take Hwy #417 West from the city which turns into Hwy #17 West. Take Hwy #132 South to Renfrew. Proceed through Dacre and then take Hwy #41 South to Denbigh. Then take Hwy #28 to Bancroft. Once in Bancroft, take Hwy #62 South and follow this for 2 kms to Bay Lake Road. Follow Bay Lake Road for 2 kms and you've arrived at Grail Springs.
Alternative Route from Ottawa Take Hwy #7 West to Madoc. Then take Hwy #62 north towards Bancroft. Just before you get to Bancroft, you will turn left onto Bay Lake Road. Special note - DO NOT take the first entrance into Bay Lake Road, but rather the second entrance which is 5 minutes north of the first entrance. Look for the blue Ontario Tourism marker signs just before this turn-off which will read 'Grail Springs Spa'.
Directions from Toronto Take Hwy #401 East (15 minutes past Oshawa) to Hwy #115/#35 North. Follow Hwy #115 for 30 minutes to where it ends at a set of lights. Go straight through the lights. You are now travelling on Television Road. Proceed for 5 minutes until you come to the first stop sign and turn right on County Road #4 (Esso station on your right).
