Route description
Hwy 202 begins in the Rural Municipality of Moose Jaw No. 161 at an intersection with Hwy 2 (Veterans Memorial Highway) just south of the village of Tuxford, heading north for a couple kilometres to make a right at a Y-Intersection with Township Road 190 to head east along the boundary with the Rural Municipality of Marquis No. 191. It has an intersection with Range Road 2260, which provides access to Parkview, before curving back northward into Marquis No. 191 at a junction with Hwy 301, travelling through the main gate to enter Buffalo Pound Provincial Park (where it has an extremely wide median) at the edge of the Qu'Appelle River valley, with Hwy 202 coming to an end while the roadway continues as the main thoroughfare into the park. The entire length of Hwy 202 is a paved, two-lane highway.[3]
