Highway 301 is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It runs from the Highway 1 / Highway 39 intersection near Pasqua (east of Moose Jaw) to Highway 202 near Buffalo Pound Provincial Park[2] and passes through the community of Mount Pleasant. It is about 21 kilometres (13 mi) long.[1]
Hwy 301 begins in the Rural Municipality of Moose Jaw No. 161 at the interchange between the Trans-Canada Highway (Hwy 1) and Hwy 39 (exit 308 on Hwy 1), located just to the north of the hamlet of Pasqua and just to the east of the city of Moose Jaw. It heads northeast to immediately cross both a bridge over the Moose Jaw River and a railway before curving northward and passing by the Moose Jaw Municipal Airport. The highway travels through rural farmland for several kilometres, passing through the hamlet of Mount Pleasant and having an intersection with Township Road 184 (provides access to the Nicolle Homestead), before curving westward as it approaches the outer rim of the Qu'Appelle River Valley, with Hwy 301 coming to an end near the southern boundary of Buffalo Pound Provincial Park at an intersection with Hwy 202. This intersection lies on the border between the RM's of Moose Jaw No. 161 and Marquis No. 191. The entire length of Hwy 301 is a paved, two-lane highway.[3]
