Provincial Trunk Highway 26 (PTH 26), also known as Chemin Assiniboine Trail, is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It is an east-west route that begins and ends at the Trans-Canada Highway (PTH 1). The western terminus is located near the interchange of PTH 1 and PTH 1A approximately 3 kilometres (1.9 miles) east of Portage la Prairie, while the eastern terminus is 3 kilometres (1.9 miles) southeast of St. François Xavier and 13 kilometres (8 miles) west of Winnipeg's Perimeter Highway. PTH 26 provides access to the small communities of St. François Xavier and Poplar Point. It serves as an alternative scenic route between Portage la Prairie and Winnipeg as it closely follows the Assiniboine River which flows south of the highway. The speed limit on this highway is 90 kilometres per hour (56 mph).
