Saskatchewan's 200-series highways primarily service its [recreational areas](/source/List_of_protected_areas_of_Saskatchewan). The highway runs from [Highway 55](/source/Saskatchewan_Highway_55) to the [resort village](/source/List_of_resort_villages_in_Saskatchewan) of [Tobin Lake](/source/Tobin_Lake%2C_Saskatchewan).{{cite web |title=Tobin Lake Resort |url=https://www.tourismsaskatchewan.com/listings/403/tobin-lake-resort |website=Tourism Saskatchewan |publisher=Government of Saskatchewan |access-date=23 August 2023}} It is about {{convert|23|km}} long. Highway 255 runs along Range Road 2133, Township Road 520, and Range Road 2130. ==Route description== Hwy 255 begins in the [Rural Municipality of Nipawin No. 487](/source/Rural_Municipality_of_Nipawin_No._487) at an intersection with [Hwy 55](/source/Saskatchewan_Highway_55) ([Northern Woods and Water Route](/source/Northern_Woods_and_Water_Route)) nearly halfway between the town of [Nipawin](/source/Nipawin%2C_Saskatchewan) and the hamlet of [Blue Jay](/source/Blue_Jay%2C_Saskatchewan). It heads north along Range Road 2133 to cross the [Petaigan River](/source/Petaigan_River) via a [causeway](/source/causeway) and travel through rural farmland for a few kilometres, passing by the Rolling Pines Golf Course and an RV park before curving eastward onto Township Road 520 near the [Gingara Subsivision](/source/Gingara_Subsivision). After travelling due east through rural areas for a few kilometres, the highway makes a sudden sharp left onto Range Road 2130 as it crosses into the [Rural Municipality of Moose Range No. 486](/source/Rural_Municipality_of_Moose_Range_No._486), with Township Road 520 continuing east towards [Hwy 123](/source/Saskatchewan_Highway_123), [Petaigan](/source/Petaigan%2C_Saskatchewan), and [Cumberland House](/source/Cumberland_House%2C_Saskatchewan). Hwy 255 begins running parallel to the southern coastline of [Tobin Lake](/source/Tobin_Lake), heading northeast past several lakeside resorts and campgrounds to enter the [resort village](/source/resort_village) of [Tobin Lake](/source/Tobin_Lake%2C_Saskatchewan), travelling through neighbourhoods before coming to an end at a boat launch in the centre of town. The entire length of Hwy 255 is a paved, two-lane highway. {{Cite Web|url=https://assets.simpleviewinc.com/simpleview/image/upload/v1/clients/saskatoon/SaskatchewanHighwayMap_7e13a454-85ca-464f-9e59-b47d014fcedd.pdf|title=Official Saskatchewan Highway Map|author=Government of Saskatchewan|access-date=August 27, 2025}} ==Major intersections== {{SKinttop|length_ref=}} {{SKint |county_special=[Nipawin No. 487](/source/Rural_Municipality_of_Nipawin_No._487) |cspan=3 |location=none |km=0.0 |road={{Jct|province=SK|Hwy|55|name1=[NWWR](/source/Northern_Woods_and_Water_Route)|city1=Carrot River|city2=Nipawin}} |notes=Southern terminus }} {{Jctbridge |location=none |km=0.5 |km2=0.9 |bridge=[Causeway](/source/Causeway) across the [Petaigan River](/source/Petaigan_River) }} {{SKint |location=none |km=9.8 |road={{Jct|province=SK|road|Gingara Road|name1=Township Road 520 / Range Road 2133|city1=Gingara Subdivision}} |notes= }} {{SKint |county_special=[Nipawin No. 487](/source/Rural_Municipality_of_Nipawin_No._487) / [Moose Range No. 486](/source/Rural_Municipality_of_Moose_Range_No._486) boundary |location=none |km=14.4 |road={{Jct|province=SK|road|Township Road 520|to2=to|Hwy|123|city1=Cumberland House}} |notes=Hwy 255 makes a sharp left turn }} {{SKint |county_special=[Moose Range No. 486](/source/Rural_Municipality_of_Moose_Range_No._486) |location=Tobin Lake |km=22.8 |road=Boat launch on [Tobin Lake](/source/Tobin_Lake) |notes=Dead end; northern terminus }} {{Jctbtm}} == See also == * [Transportation in Saskatchewan](/source/Transportation_in_Saskatchewan) * [Roads in Saskatchewan](/source/Roads_in_Saskatchewan) == References == {{Reflist}} {{Saskatchewan Provincial Highways}} {{Authority control}} 255 --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Saskatchewan Highway 255](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saskatchewan_Highway_255) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saskatchewan_Highway_255?action=history)).
