Saskatchewan Highway 994

Highway 994 is a provincial highway in the far north region of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. One of the province's shortest highways, it is approximately 1.1 kilometres (0.68 mi) long.[1][2] Highway 994 provides access to the isolated community of Kinoosao.[3] Due to its geographic location, it is the only provincial highway in Saskatchewan that requires entering the neighboring province of Manitoba to travel it. The route begins at the shores of Reindeer Lake in Kinoosao and heads eastward a short distance to the provincial line, where it continues eastward as Manitoba Provincial Road 394 towards Lynn Lake, Manitoba.
