It begins at Highway 9 near Lockport, north of Winnipeg. The highway travels east through Beausejour before heading southeast in concurrency with Highway 11 for approximately 20 kilometres (12 miles) and then continues southeast through Whiteshell Provincial Park. PTH 44 ends at the Trans-Canada Highway near the Ontario boundary. It becomes very narrow as it passes through the Wilderness of the Park, and is very hilly and winding. The speed limit along Highway 44 is 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph).

History

Highway 44 was originally part of PTH 1.[1] When the new PTH 1 route was completed as part of the Trans-Canada Highway project in 1958, this section of Highway 1 became part of transprovincial Highway 4 (along with current Highways 9, 16, and 26).[2] The highway was renumbered to its current designation in 1968.[3]
