Manitoba Provincial Road 503

Provincial Road 503 is a east–west highway in the Eastman Region of Manitoba. Travelling through both the Sandilands and Northwest Angle Provincial Forests, it serves as the designation for a portion of the historic Old Dawson Trail.

Route description

PR 503 begins just across the Whitemouth River from Hadashville at an intersection with the Trans-Canada Highway, heading southwest along the banks of the river for a few kilometres to enter the Sandilands Provincial Forest, coming to an intersection with its spur PR 505, where the highway turns east along the Old Dawson Trail. The highway winds its way through remote woodlands for several kilometres, temporarily entering the Northwest Angle Provincial Forest and crossing the Birch River before coming to an end at a junction with PR 308 just south of East Braintree. The entire length of PR 503 is a two-lane gravel road, lying with the Rural Municipality of Reynolds in its entirety.

Provincial Road 505 is a east–west spur of PR 503 in the Sandilands Provincial Forest. Comprising a segment of the historic Old Dawson Trail, it runs from PR 503 to a dead end along the banks of the Whitemouth River. It is entirely a two-lane gravel road.
On the other side of the river, Dawson Road begins again and travels through the Eastman ATV Park towards Richer.
