    Highway 35 is a paved, undivided provincial highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It runs from the U.S. border at the Port of Oungre (where it meets U.S. Route 85) north to a dead end near the north shore of Tobin Lake. The southern end of Highway 35 is one segment of the CanAm Highway, which is an international highway connecting Canada, the United States, and Mexico. [2] Highway 35 is about 569 kilometres (354 mi) long. [1]

    Contents

    Highway 35 connects with the following major Saskatchewan highways: 18, 39, 33, 48, 1, 22, 15, 16, 5, 3, and 55. Major communities along the highway include Weyburn, Qu'Appelle, Fort Qu'Appelle, Wadena, Tisdale, and Nipawin. Parks accessed from the highway include Oungre Memorial Regional Park, [3] Mission Ridge Winter Park, Nipawin & District Regional Park, [4] and Tobin Lake Recreation Site (Caroll's Cove Campground). [5]

    Mudslides and spring flooding were huge road-building and maintenance problems on various stretches of Highway 35, including along the southern portion through the Greater Yellow Grass Marsh and along the Souris River, in the middle section through the Qu'Appelle Valley, and in the northern section by Nipawin and at the Saskatchewan River. Several dams and water control measures were built over the years to control flooding. [6]

    The 2018 Humboldt Broncos bus crash occurred on Highway 35 at the intersection with Highway 335 about 28 kilometres (17 mi) north of Tisdale.

    Route description

    Highway 35 traverses three distinct topographical areas from its southern end to its northern terminus. The rolling moraines and valleys of the mixed grassland [7] at its southern end give way to aspen parkland towards the middle section. [8] The northern portion of the route is within the southern boreal forest which consists of agricultural land mixed with heavily forested areas. Beginning at the border with the US, the highway heads north crossing other major highways, such as the Trans-Canada and the Yellowhead, major rivers, such as the Qu'Appelle and the Saskatchewan, and ends at Tobin Lake in east-central Saskatchewan.

    Port of Oungre to the Trans-Canada Highway

    Highway 35 begins at the Port of Oungre [9] border crossing. Going north from the border, it meets Highway 18 at Oungre, provides access to Oungre Regional Park, and crosses Long Creek. From Long Creek, the highway passes through Tribune [10] and carries on to Weyburn where it crosses the Souris River and meets Highways 13 and 39. Weyburn is the only city on Highway 35 and has been dubbed the Soo Line City due its connection with Chicago on the Soo Line of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). [6] Weyburn is located astride the Williston geological Basin which contains oil deposits, and several wells operate in the vicinity. [6] Notable points of interest in Weyburn accessible from Highway 39 include the Soo Line Historical Museum, [11] [12] Tommy Douglas statue, Weyburn Heritage Village, [13] and the Water Tower. [14] Off Highway 35, at the north end of Weyburn, is access to the site of the former Souris Valley Mental Health Hospital, which at the time of its construction in the 1920s, was the largest building in the British Commonwealth. From Weyburn, the highway continues north past Cedoux and on to Highway 33 and Francis. [15] After Francis, it continues north crossing Highway 48 before meeting Highway 1.

    CanAm Highway

    The southern portion of Highway 35 from the Port of Oungre at the Canada–United States border to the city of Weyburn forms the initial segment of the CanAm Highway in Saskatchewan. This segment is 74.6 kilometres (46.4 mi) long. [1] Other highways in Saskatchewan that are part of the CanAm Highway network include 39, 6, 3, and 2. The CanAm Highway was a concept that begun in the 1920s and is an important route for the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) super corridor connecting Mexico, the United States, and Canada. [16]

    Trans-Canada to the Yellowhead Highway

    Highway 35 between Qu'Appelle and Fort Qu'Appelle

    Highway 35 has a short 700-metre (2,300 ft) westward concurrency with Highway 1 before turning north. About 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from Highway 1, Highway 35 enters the town of Qu'Appelle where it follows N Pacific Avenue west then Qu'Appelle St north through town. Qu'Appelle had historic beginnings with fur trading posts in the area and was the former terminus of the CPR. From Qu'Appelle, Highway 35 heads north where it meets, and has a concurrency with, Highway 10 en route to Fort Qu'Appelle in the Qu'Appelle Valley. At Fort Qu'Appelle, Highway 35 is met by other highways including 22, 56, and 210. [17] Fort Qu'Appelle is situated on the Qu'Appelle River between Echo and Mission Lakes of the Fishing Lakes. The town has a vibrant history being an early fur trading post. The 1897 Hudson's Bay Company store, 1911 Grand Trunk Pacific Railway station, Fort Qu'Appelle Sanatorium (Fort San), and the Treaty 4 Governance Centre are all landmarks of Fort Qu'Appelle. [18] [19] In Fort Qu'Appelle, Highway 35's concurrency with 10 ends as Highway 10 continues on eastward. It then begins a 16-kilometre (9.9 mi) concurrency with Highway 22 as it climbs out of the valley and heads north towards Lipton. At this point, Highway 22 branches off west while Highway 35 carries on north through the Touchwood Hills en route to Highway 15 and Leross. It crosses Highway 15 and traverses the western part of the Beaver Hills as it makes its way to the Yellowhead Highway and Elfros.

    Yellowhead to Tobin Lake

    Once Highway 35 crosses the Yellowhead, it passes by the western shore of the Quill Lakes and meets Highway 5 at Wadena. [20] Points of interest in Wadena accessible from the highway include the Wadena & District Museum and the Jesmer & Milligan Marsh Projects Interpretative Centre with information regarding the Quill Lakes International Shorebird Reserve. [21] Highway 35 continues north from Wadena passing Hendon, Highway 49, Fosston, Ponass Lakes, and Rose Valley before entering the village of Archerwill. [22] As the highway enters Archerwill, it is met by, and begins a 14-kilometre (8.7 mi) concurrency with, Highway 349. At the north end of Archerwill, the highway turns west and follows the southern shore of George Williams Lake. [23] At the west end of the lake, 349 heads west and 35 once again resumes its northerly routing towards the junction with Highway 3 and the town of Tisdale. [24] Tisdale is located in the heart of an agricultural community and honours the farming community with a big roadside statue of a honey bee. [25]

    North of Tisdale, Highway 35 crosses Saskatchewan's tree line into boreal forest en route to Nipawin. [26] The southern boreal forest is marked by aspen combined with jack pine, tamarack, and white spruce. [7] Communities along this stretch of highway to Nipawin include Leacross, Armley, Pontrilas, and Codette. Armley, at the intersection of 35 and 335, is near the site of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash. That intersection is known as "Armley Corner". [27] [28] Nipawin, known as "the Town on Two Lakes", is situated between two man-made lakes along the Saskatchewan River, Tobin and Codette Lakes. [29] In 1963, Squaw Rapids Dam was built across the Saskatchewan River creating Tobin Lake. The dam was renamed in 1988 to E.B. Campbell Dam. Codette Lake is impounded by the Francois-Finlay Dam, which was completed in 1986. Access to the Francois Finlay Hydroelectric Dam Vista Viewpoint is from Highway 35, 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) south of Nipawin. [30] Near the centre of town, the highway is met by Highway 55 where the two highways begin a 12-kilometre (7.5 mi) concurrency that leaves Nipawin, passes by Nipawin Regional Park, and crosses the Saskatchewan River. Just before White Fox, the two highways diverge with 55 headed west to White Fox and 35 continuing north for another 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) before turning east. Highway 35 then skirts along the north-western shore of Tobin Lake to a dead end, giving access to Carroll's Cove Campground and Pruden's Point Resort. [31]

    History

    Highway 35 runs south to north, and historically did not run on the square following both range and township surveyed road allowances, but rather was allowed to run straight and true along township roads for the most part. Between Wadena and Nipawin, the highway travelled parallel to the rail. [32]

    A ferry was the first method of transport across the Saskatchewan River at Nipawin. When ferry travel was unsafe because of the ice break up, a basket, which was propelled above the river on wire, could safely transport persons and mail across the river. In 1932, the combined CPR and traffic bridge opened to traffic across the Saskatchewan River at Nipawin, which retired the ferry and basket crossing. The railway / traffic bridge that formed part of Highway 35 was the only crossing utilized at Nipawin until a new traffic bridge was constructed in 1974. The new bridge then became part of the Highway 35 / 55 concurrency. The old railway / traffic bridge continues to be utilized for one lane vehicle traffic controlled by traffic lights. It continues on as the "Old Highway 35" on the west side of the river until it joins with the current Highway 35 / 55 concurrency south of White Fox.

    In 1953, a rapid flow landslide destroyed a portion of Highway 35 near Fort Qu'Appelle in the Echo Creek Valley. [33] [34] The construction of the Qu'Appelle River Dam in 1967 helped to eliminate washed out roads and flooded communities downstream. Twenty-one dams were built in the pioneering days to help with the yearly flooding in the Qu'Appelle Valley. [7]

    The Northern Woods and Water Route is a 2,400-kilometre (1,500 mi) route through northern British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba in Western Canada. As early as the 1950s, community groups came together to establish a northern travel route; this was proposed as the Northern Yellowhead Transportation Route. The Northern Woods and Water Route Association was established in 1974, and encouraged promotion of the route with the promise of an increase in tourist travel. The route was designated in 1974 and is well signed throughout its component highways. The route starts at Dawson Creek as the Spirit River Highway and ends at the Perimeter of Winnipeg, Manitoba, after running through the northern regions of the western provinces. From west to east, the Northern Woods and Water Route (NWWR) incorporates portions of British Columbia Highway 49; Alberta Highways 49, 2A, 2, & 55; Saskatchewan Highways 55 & 9; Manitoba Provincial Road 283 and Trunk Highways 10, 5, 68 & 6.

Pasqua Lake is upstream and Mission Lake is downstream. The lake can be accessed by Highway 56 and Highway 210. In 1942, a 4-metre (13 ft) high dam was built on the Qu'Appelle River at Echo Lake's outflow to control the lake's water levels. In the summer of 2024, Saskatchewan's Water Security Agency begun "interim repairs" on Echo Lake Dam to "improve safety and extend the dam's life until a replacement can be completed".

    Codette Lake, which was named after Métis fur trader Baptiste Codette, is a reservoir in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The lake was created in 1986 with the construction of the Francois-Finlay Dam across the Saskatchewan River about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) upstream from the town of Nipawin. The dam is the site of the Nipawin Hydroelectric Station. Downstream from Codette Lake is Tobin Lake, which is another man-made lake along the course of the Saskatchewan River that was created in 1963 with the construction of the E.B. Campbell Dam.
