It has an intersection with Kinosota Access Road before going switchbacks as it travels through Reedy Creek, where the highway begins following the coastline of Ebb and Flow Lake. PR 278 passes through Bacon Ridge before travelling through the Ebb and Flow First Nation, serving as its main thoroughfare. The highway comes to an end shortly thereafter at an intersection with PTH 68 just south of Eddystone. The entire length of PR 278 is a paved, two-lane highway.
