'''Route 170''' is a major east/west highway on the north shore of the [St. Lawrence River](/source/St._Lawrence_River) in [Quebec](/source/Quebec), [Canada](/source/Canada), and it parallels the [Saguenay River](/source/Saguenay_River) on the south side of it. The western terminus of Route 170 is in [Métabetchouan–Lac-à-la-Croix](/source/M%C3%A9tabetchouan%E2%80%93Lac-%C3%A0-la-Croix) at the junction of [Route 169](/source/Quebec_Route_169), at [Lac Saint-Jean](/source/Lac_Saint-Jean), and the eastern terminus is in [Saint-Siméon](/source/Saint-Sim%C3%A9on%2C_Capitale-Nationale%2C_Quebec), at the junction of [Route 138](/source/Quebec_Route_138), close to the Saint Lawrence River.

It is a busy highway in the [Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean](/source/Saguenay%E2%80%93Lac-Saint-Jean) part as it links Saguenay's borough of La Baie, Chicoutimi and Jonquière together, and it provides the main link between the Lac-Saint-Jean and Saguenay areas. The stretch of road between Saguenay and Saint-Siméon is a very scenic ride in the mountains and providing access to roads leading to the [Saguenay Fjord](/source/Saguenay_Fjord).
