Manitoba Provincial Road 276
Provincial Road 276 (PR 276) is a 114.3-kilometre-long (71.0 mi) north–south highway in the Parkland Region of Manitoba. It connects the towns of Ste. Rose du Lac, Rorketon, Toutes Aides, and Waterhen, as well as providing the only road access to the hamlet of Rock Ridge and the Skownan First Nation along the shores of Waterhen Lake. PR 276 also travels past Manipogo Provincial Park and traverses the entire length of the Isthmus separating Lake Winnipegosis and Lake Manitoba. Route descriptionPR 276 begins in the Municipality of Ste. Rose at an intersection with PTH 5 (Parks Route / Northern Woods and Water Route) in Ste. Rose du Lac, along the east bank of the Turtle River. It heads north along Central Avenue to travel through the centre of downtown before passing through some neighbourhoods. Leaving Ste. Rose du Lac, the highway traverses a switchback as it crosses Hansen Creek just prior to entering the Rural Municipality of Lakeshore, having intersections with access roads to Methley Beach, East Bay, Magnet, and Million before going through a second switchback. PR 276 meets the southern end of PR 364 just east of Rorketon at the locality of Edillen before crossing PR 481 and Bretcher Creek as it travels through Toutes Aides. After curving around the west side of Manipogo Provincial Park, the road leaves the Rural Municipalities behind, heading up the Isthmus separating Lake Manitoba and Lake Winnipegosis, travelling through the community of Spence Lake and having a junction with PR 269. Leaving the isthmus behind, the highway winds its way up the western banks on the Waterhen River, meeting the west end of PR 328 at the town of Waterhen. Following the river northward, PR 276 travels through woodland as it travels past the hamlet of Rock Ridge before entering the Skownan First Nation, serving as the main road through the Waterhen 45 Indian reserve before coming to a dead end along the shores of Waterhen Lake. The entire length of PR 276 is a paved two-lane highway.[1][2] Major intersections
