Provincial Trunk Highway 60 (PTH 60) is a provincial highway in theCanadian province ofManitoba. It runs fromPTH 10 toPTH 6. Much of its length runs adjacent to the north shore ofLake Winnipegosis.
The route connects PTH 6 to PTH 10 andFlin Flon. The speed limit is 100 km/h (62 mph).
The highway is designated as a northern/remote route within Canada'sNational Highway System.
PTH 60 begins inDivision No. 21 at an intersection withPTH 10 (Northern Woods and Water Route) just a few kilometers north ofOverflowing River Provincial Park. It winds its way southeast through remote wooded terrain for several kilometers, where it begins running on the northern coastline ofLake Winnipegosis, as well as traversing theIsthmus between it andCedar Lake. After crossing intoDivision No. 19, the highway leaves the isthmus, though still running along Lake Winnipegosis, and enters theChemawawin Cree Nation. Passing by several homes and an abandoned business (along adjacent 13 Mile Road), it has an intersection withPR 327, a spur road leading toEasterville. After having an intersection with a small gravel road leading toDenbeigh Point, PTH 60 finally leaves Lake Winnipegosis and the First Nation, winding its way east through remote woodlands for several kilometers, traveling past a few smaller lakes, such asKaweenakumik Lake (signed asKawinaw Lake) andKatimik Lake, before coming to an end at an intersection withPTH 6 a few kilometers south ofGrand Rapids.[1][2]
The entire length of Manitoba Highway 60 is a rural, paved, two-lane highway.
