Route description
Hwy 229 begins at a junction with roughly halfway between Springside and Buchanan, with the road heading due east for around 4.8 kilometres (3 mi), passing by the Good Spirit Woods Campground before curving northward to enter Good Spirit Acres. It travels past a golf course along the eastern edge of the hamlet before making a sharp right at the junction between Keewatin Avenue (leads north to Good Spirit Lake Provincial Park) and Capalano Drive (leads west into the centre of the hamlet).[2] The highway now leaves Good Spirit Acres, heading due east past the Horseshoe Lake Wildlife Refuge (and the lake of the same name), where it has an intersection with Tiny Road (leads north to Burgis Beach and Tiny) before traveling through rural farmland for the next few kilometres. Hwy 229 now crosses a bridge over the Whitesand River, coming to an end shortly thereafter at an intersection with Hwy 9 (Saskota Flyway) just north of Gorlitz. The entire length of Hwy 229 is a paved, two-lane highway.[3]
