Route description
Highway 535 is a generally straight route oriented in a north–south direction through parts of the Canadian Shield. The two lane highway begins at a junction with Highway 64 in the town of Noëlville, where it is known as David Street North. It proceeds directly north in a straight line for almost 10 kilometres (6.2 mi), crossing the Wolseley River en route. The highway eventually diverges from its straight course prior to crossing the French River at West Arm. It zigzags its way north through rough terrain for several kilometres, passing through several rock outcroppings.
Eventually, the route straightens once more, then curves east and enters St. Charles.
