Route description

edit

PR 306 begins in the Municipality of Rhineland at an intersection with PR 243 (Boundary Commission Trail), just 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) north of the hamlet of Neuhorst and the United States border. It heads north as a paved two-lane highway to almost immediately travel through the Rosetown community before continuing north through rural farmland for several kilometres. After crossing a small creek, the highway has a junction with PR 201 just east of the town of Gnadenthal before continuing on to enter the town of Plum Coulee at an intersection with PTH 14. PR 306 mainly travels through neighbourhoods along the eastern side of town, where it crosses a bridge over the Plum River, before leaving Plum Coulee and crossing a floodway, where the pavement turns to gravel. The highway travels through rural farmland as it enters the Rural Municipality of Roland, crossing two more floodways before coming to an end at an intersection with PTH 23, just west of the community of Kane.[1][2]
