PTH 50 begins in the
Rural Municipality of WestLake - Gladstone at an intersection with
PTH 16 (
Yellowhead Highway) west of
Westbourne, just north of the banks of the
Whitemud River and the
Hutterite Bloomfield Colony. It heads north, immediately crossing a railroad line and traveling through rural farmland for several kilometers, paralleling the western coastline of
Lake Manitoba as it passes the
Lakeland community to enter the town of
Langruth. Traveling straight through town along Main Street, it has an intersection with
PR 265 before leaving Langruth and winding its way north into the
Rural Municipality of Alonsa. Still paralleling the coastline of Lake Manitoba, PTH 50 travels through the
Sandy Bay First Nation, having an intersection with the main access road to the First Nations' townsite (Main Road), before passing through the town of
Amaranth. Heading straight through the center of town, it has an intersection with
PR 261 (Broadway Road) before leaving Amaranth and winding its way past
Harcus and
Leifur for several kilometers to the community of
Silver Ridge, where PTH 50 makes a sharp left turn to the east at an intersection with
PR 278, where it turns away from Lake Manitoba. Between this intersection and it southern terminus at the Yellowhead Highway, PTH 50 is known as Kinosota Road. The highway passes through the town of
Alonsa prior to going through a switchback and entering the
Municipality of McCreary. Traveling through rural areas for several kilometers, PTH 50 enters the town of
McCreary, passing through neighborhoods as it crosses a railroad line to travel through downtown. It passes through more neighborhoods before coming to an end at an intersection with
PTH 5 (Parks Route), with the road continuing west as
PR 361. The entire length of Manitoba Highway 50 is a rural, paved, two-lane highway. ==History==
