Provincial Road 415 (PR 415) is a 60.3-kilometre-long (37.5 mi) east-west highway in the Interlake Region of Manitoba. Serving as one of the primary east–west routes across the Shoal Lakes, it connects the towns of St. Laurent and Teulon via Harperville and Erinview.

Route description

PR 415 begins in the Rural Municipality of St. Laurent at an intersection with PTH 6 (Northern Woods and Water Route) in the town of St. Laurent near the coastline of Lake Manitoba. It heads due east as a gravel two-lane highway, leaving town travelling through a mix of farmland and wooded areas for several kilometres, where it makes a sudden sharp right at an intersection with Ideal Road, turning south for a short distance. The highway makes a sharp left shortly thereafter at a junction PR 518, heading east again as it travels both through the hamlet of Harperville and along the northern coastlines of both West Shoal Lake and East Shoal Lake. Entering the Rural Municipality of Armstrong, PR 415 now traverses a switchback as it crosses the narrow isthmus separating North Shoal Lake and East Shoal Lake, just prior to having an intersection with PR 416. The highway makes a sharp turn to the south as it enters the Rural Municipality of Woodlands, travelling through remote wooded areas for several kilometres a junction with PR 322, where PR 415 becomes paved as it heads east through the hamlet of Erinview. It the travels several kilometres through rural areas of the Rural Municipality of Rockwood to enter the town of Teulon, running along the southern edge of town to come to an end at a intersection with PTH 7.

History

The section of highway between the junctions with PR 518 and PR 416 was closed for eight years due to roadway both being flooded and eroded away due to severe flooding in both 2011 and 2014, causing all three Shoal Lakes to merge into one. It was finally repaired and reopened in 2019.
