Highway 23 is a provincial highway in the north-eastern part of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan that runs from Highway 55 near Carrot River south-east to Highway 9 at Bertwell. It is paved for the majority of its length, but has a 25km (16miles) gravel section between Weekes and Highway 55.[1] [2] The highway is approximately long
Highway 23 begins at Highway 55 about north of the town of Carrot River.[3] Continuing south from Carrot River, the highway provides access to Pasquia Regional Park[4] and crosses the Carrot River. About south of the river crossing, the highway turns west where it passes through Arborfield.[5] A short distance west of Arborfield, the highway turns back south where it continues this southerly travel until just north of Bjorkdale.[6] This section of highway has a 3.3km (02.1miles) concurrency with Highway 3 and provides access to Crooked River.
From Bjorkdale, Highway 23 heads east to its southern terminus at Highway 9. Communities along this stretch of highway include Chelan, Porcupine Plain,[7] Carragana,[8] Somme, Weekes,[9] and Bertwell. North-west of Chelan, Highway 23 crosses the Red Deer River and near Bertwell, it crosses the Etomami River.
