Saskatchewan Highway 20

Highway 20 begins at Lumsden and Highway 11^[2] in the Qu'Appelle Valley and follows the Qu'Appelle River north-east to Craven.^[3] At Craven, it turns north and follows Last Mountain Creek to Valeport Marsh,^[4] the southern end of Last Mountain Lake, and Last Mountain House Provincial Park. Near the park, Highway 20 intersects with Highway 322. Highway 322 heads north-west following the eastern shore of Last Mountain Lake while Highway 20 heads north past Gibbs to Bulyea^[5] and the intersection with Highway 220. Highway 220 heads west to Last Mountain Lake and Rowan's Ravine Provincial Park.^[6] From Bulyea, Highway 20 heads north-northwest to Strasbourg^[7] and Duval. After Duval, it resumes its northerly routing passing by the communities of Cymric, Govan, Hatfield, Nokomis,^[8] Lockwood, and Drake en route to Highway 16 and Lanigan.^[9] From there, Highway 20 begins a 10-kilometre (6.2 mi) long concurrency with Highway 16 (the Yellowhead Highway) that runs west of Lanigan towards Guernsey. Less than 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) before Gurnsey, Highway 20 leaves the concurrency with 16 and resumes its northerly routing.

From Highway 16, Highway 20 heads north towards Humboldt. Along this stretch, the highway provides access to Burr and Bay Trail and skirts around the western shore of Humboldt Lake.^[10] In Humboldt, Highway 20 intersects Highway 5^[11] then continues north-northwest to its northern terminus at Highway 3, just east of Birch Hills. Along this final leg, the highway provides access to the communities of Fulda, Pilger, Middle Lake, St. Benedict, Tarnopol, and Crystal Springs; intersects Highways 756, 669, 777, 41, 320, and 778; and passes by the lakes of Burton, Deadmoose, Houghton, Lucien, Basin, Dixon, and Jumping. Lucien Lake is home to Lucien Lake Regional Park and Basin Lake is part of the Basin and Middle Lakes Migratory Bird Sanctuary.

• In September 2000, a 6.6-kilometre (4.1 mi) section north of Lanigan was resurfaced^[12]
• In June 2001, a 12-kilometre (7.5 mi) section of the highway north of the Highway 16 junction near Guernsey was resurfaced at an estimated cost of $800,000^[13]
