Route description
editPR 271 begins at an intersection with PTH 10 (NWWR West Branch) on the western edge of Pine River. It heads east along 1st Street through neighbourhoods before crossing a former railroad and making a left onto Railway Avenue to pass through downtown. The highway heads north out of town, where the pavement ends, for a few kilometres before making a sharp right turn to travel through farmland. After passing through some woodlands, where it crosses the South Pine River, PR 271 travels through the hamlet of Pulp River, where it crosses a bridge over the Garland River and has an intersection with PR 489. The highway continues due east through a mix of farmland and wooded areas for several more kilometres before coming to an end at a junction with PTH 20 (NWWR East Branch) halfway between the towns of Camperville and Winnipegosis. With the exclusion of the paved section within Pine River, the entire length of PR 271 is a gravel two-lane road.[1][2]
