PR 227 is a well-travelled gravel road, used to access the many cottages located near Lake Manitoba and sometimes as a shorter alternative to the Trans-Canada Highway by those travelling between the Yellowhead and south Interlake region. High water levels on Lake Manitoba in recent years have made certain portions of the road prone to flooding.[3] On 30 August 2022, the Manitoba government announced it is "committing almost $70 million for upgrades to Provincial Road (PR) 227".[4]
