Provincial Road 224 (PR 224) is a 26.3-kilometer-long (16.3 mi) paved north–south highway in the Interlake Region of Manitoba. Traversing the right bank of the Fisher River for nearly its entire length, it provides road access to the community of Fisher Bay, as well as the First Nations of Peguis and Fisher River.
Route description
PR 224 begins roughly two kilometers (1.2 mi) east of the town of Hodgson along the northern border of the Rural Municipality of Fisher, at an intersection with PR 325, which also serves as the northern terminus of PTH 17. The highway immediately enters the Peguis First Nation as it winds it way through residential areas while following along the banks of Bottle Creek for the next few kilometers. Passing by where Bottle Creek and another tributary converge to form the Fisher River, PR 224 begins following the river as it travels through the business district/settlement of Peguis. The road passes some more residential areas before leaving the First Nation and curving eastward to travel through wooded areas for a few kilometers. It now passes through the community of Dallas/Red Rose, where it meets the southern end of PR 412 (Jackhead Road), which provides access to the Kinonjeoshtegon First Nation as well as the Provincial Parks of Lake St. Andrew and Lake St. George, before entering the Fisher River Cree Nation. PR 224 crosses a bridge over the Fisher River to pass through the main settlement of Fisher River, including its business and residential districts. The highway leaves the First Nation and turns northward away from the river to travel through a short section of Fisher Bay Provincial Park before entering the community of Fisher Bay and coming to an end at a T-intersection with a residential street along the coastline of Lake Winnipeg's bay of the same name. The entire length of Provincial Road 224 is a paved two-lane highway.[1][2]
