Provincial Road 269 (PR 269) is a 72.8-kilometre-long (45.2 mi) east–west highway in the Parkland Region of Manitoba. It connects the towns of Ethelbert and Fork River with PR 276 along the Isthmus separating Lake Winnipegosis from Lake Manitoba. Between Ethelbert and Fork River, PR 269 follows a portion of the western branch of the Northern Woods and Water Route.

Route description

PR 269 begins in the Municipality of Ethelbert at an intersection with PTH 10 on the northern edge of the town of Ethelbert, heading east along a gravel bypass on the north side of town, following the west branch of the Northern Woods and Water Route (NWWR), which continues along PTH 10 northbound. It crosses the Fork River before meeting River Avenue N (former PR 269 through downtown), where it becomes paved and leaves Ethelbert. Entering the Rural Municipality of Mossey River, it parallels the Fork River for several kilometres as it traverses a mix of farmland and wooded areas to pass through Zelena and cross a creek. Joining both the NWWR mainline and a concurrency (overlap) with PTH 20, the pair head south through the town of Fork River, where they cross the Fork River for a second time, before PR 269 splits off and heads east to cross the Mossey River. Travelling through the locality of Rice Lake, the highway shares a concurrency with PR 364 before passing through community of Volga, where it crosses German Creek while travelling near the southern coastline of Lake Winnipegosis. Entering Unorganized Division No. 19, PR 269 makes a sharp left at a junction with PR 490 in Meadowlands to travel up the isthmus separating Lake Winnipegosis from Lake Manitoba, coming to an end at an intersection with PR 276.
