Manitoba Provincial Road 244

PR 244 begins in the town of Manitou at an intersection with PTH 3 (Boundary Commission Trail) within the Municipality of Pembina. It travels along the western edge of town before crossing a railroad track, leaving Manitou and heading north through rural farmland for the next several kilometres, crossing a small lake via a causeway (Lac Rondeau) just prior to entering the Municipality of Lorne. The highway almost immediately has an intersection with PTH 23, roughly halfway between St. Leon and Altamont, as it continues north through farmland for the next several kilometres. PR 244 travels past Cardinal before becoming concurrent (overlapped) with PR 245, entering the town of Notre Dame de Lourdes shortly thereafter. The highway goes through a switchback as it travels through a business district and neighbourhoods on the eastern edge of town, with PR 245 splitting off and heading into downtown. PR 244 now leaves Notre Dame de Lourdes and immediately enters the Municipality of Norfolk Treherne, continuing north through areas for several kilometres before entering the town of Rathwell, crossing a railroad track and traversing the western edge of town to come to an end at an intersection with PTH 2 (Red Coat Trail). The entire length of Provincial Road 244 is a paved two-lane highway.^[1][2]
