Provincial Road 412 (PR 412), also known as Jackhead Road, is a 63-kilometer-long (39 mi) north-south all weather road in Manitoba connecting PR 224 with Kinonjeoshtegon First Nation's Jackhead community, passing by Lake St. Andrew and Lake St. George Provincial Parks along the way.[1][2]

Route description

PR 412 begins at a junction with PR 224 in the farmland of the Dallas/Red Rose community. It immediately crosses a bridge over the Fisher River and winds its way northward through woodlands for the next several kilometers. The highway passes by the Provincial Parks of Lake St. Andrew and Lake St. George, as well as the two lakes of the same name, before winding it past several smaller lakes for several more kilometers, where an access road forks off towards Jackhead Harbour. PR 412 now enters the Kinonjeoshtegon First Nation reserve of Jackhead 43, also known as the community Jackhead, which it travels through for a few kilometers before coming to a dead end along the western coastline of Lake Winnipeg.[3][4]

The entire length of PR 412 is an unpaved, two-lane, gravel road.
