About two-thirds of Highway 167 lies on the east coast of Amisk Lake. The town of Denare Beach and Amisk Lake Recreation Site are accessible from the highway. The entire route is in Northern Saskatchewan Administration District.
Highway 167 was originally signed as part of Highway 35,[2] but was renumbered to its present designation around 1967.[3][4]
Route description
Hwy 167 begins at a dead end along the banks of the Sturgeon-Weir River, just below its mouth on Amisk Lake inside the Amiskosakahikan 210 First Nation Reserve. It heads north as a gravel road along the eastern coastline of Amisk Lake for several kilometres, travelling past the Amisk Lake Recreation Site through remote woodlands and switchbacks as it leaves the reserve and crosses Meridian Creek on its way to the northern village of Denare Beach, where it becomes paved as it passes through neighbourhoods on the eastern side of town along Moody Drive before making a sharp right turn onto Tenth Avenue. Leaving town, it winds its way northeastward remote terrain past several smaller lakes for several kilometres, entering the town of Creighton along Creighton Avenue to travel through neighbourhoods before junctioning with Hwy 106 (Main Street / Hanson Lake Road). Now crossing into the town of Flin Flon, the highway travels along Main Street, having an intersection with Channing Drive near a golf course before passing through a neighbourhood to enter Manitoba, with Main Street continuing north as Manitoba Highway 10 (PTH 10). The entire length of Hwy 167 is a two-lane highway, located entirely within the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District.[5]
