PTH 39 begins within
Grass River Provincial Park at an intersection with
PTH 10 a few kilometers south of
Cranberry Portage, with the road heading east, winding its way across the entire length of the park, traveling past several large lakes and campgrounds, such as the
Cranberry Lakes and
Reed Lake. The highway exits the park, passing by
Tramping Lake and crossing
Hayward Creek to have an intersection with
PR 392 within the city limits
Snow Lake. It travels along the southern coastline of
Wekusko Lake for a few kilometers to have an intersection with access road to
Herb Lake Landing. PTH 39 now goes through some sharp curves for the next several kilometers, where it has an intersection with
PR 596 and begin paralleling the
Mitishto River. The highway now straightens out, crossing the river and coming to an end at an intersection with
PTH 6 near
