What is Manitoba Highway 10?

Manitoba Highway 10 is a major road that stretches for about 847 kilometers. That's a really long distance! It is the longest highway in Manitoba. The road goes from the very south of the province to the far north.

Where Does it Go?

This highway starts at the International Peace Garden. This is a special place right on the border between Manitoba and North Dakota in the United States. It is close to the town of Boissevain.

From there, Highway 10 travels north through many towns and cities. One big city it passes through is Brandon. It also goes through smaller places like Ethelbert and Cranberry Portage.

The highway ends far to the north in Flin Flon. This town is right on the border with Sasatchewan. When Highway 10 reaches Flin Flon, it continues into Saskatchewan as Saskatchewan Highway 167.

Part of a Bigger Route

Between the towns of Dauphin and The Pas, Highway 10 is part of something called the Northern Woods and Water Route. This is a longer scenic route that connects different areas, showing off the natural beauty of the region.
