When it was downloaded at the beginning of 1998, Highway 92 connected Highway 26 near Collingwood with former Highway 27 in Elmvale. Through Wasaga Beach, the highway travelled to Ansley Road before turning onto River Road West and exited the town heading east. The highway was surrounded by residences and a few commercial establishments throughout this distance. Between Sunnidale Road and Blueberry Trail, the route travelled parallel to the Nottawasaga River, which drains into nearby Nottawasaga Bay to the north. East of Blueberry Trail, the route curved eastwards and progressed out of the town and into farmland. The route was straight for the remainder of its length, intersection County Road 29 midway between Wasaga Beach and Elmvale. Entering Elmvale, the route crossed a former railway and became surrounded by residences. It ended at Highway 27 in the centre of the village. Today, the western end of the former highway is no longer part of Highway 26, as that route was realigned in 2012 to bypass the exurban stretch between Wasaga Beach and Collingwood; the former routing is now known as Beachwood Road. Mosley Street was extended to meet the new bypass, and a roundabout was built there as well as at the intersection with Beachwood Road.
History
Highway 92 was first established by the Department of Highways in 1936 to connect Highway 27 at Elmvale with Wasaga Beach. On August 5, 1936, of local roadway was assumed from Flos Township into the expanding provincial highway network. Originally, the unpaved highway ended at the intersection of Main Street and River Road East, and did not connect with Highway 26 to the west. Aside from paving, which was completed by 1949, the route remained unchanged until the early 1980s. In 1980 or 1981, Highway 92 was extended through Wasaga Beach to Highway 26 via River Road West and Mosley Street after the Schoonertown Bridge over the Nottawasaga River was completed. Highway 27 was transferred to Simcoe County on April 1, 1997, temporarily resulting in Highway 92 ending at a county road. On January 1, 1998, the entire highway was transferred to Simcoe County, decommissioning the route in the process. Simcoe County subsequently transferred the section through Wasaga Beach to that town, but maintains the remainder of the former highway as Simcoe County Road 92.
