King's Highway 117, commonly referred to as Highway 117, was a provincially maintained highway in the Canadian province of Ontario. The route travelled across Muskoka between Highway 11 north of Bracebridge and Highway 35 at Dorset, with Baysville being the only significant community between the two. It was created in 1974 by renumbering a portion of Highway 118, and existed until 1998, when it was transferred to the District Municipality of Muskoka. Today the former highway is known as Muskoka District Road 117.
