Provincial Trunk Highway 44 (PTH 44) is an east-west provincial highway in the Eastman Region of the Canadian province of Manitoba.
It begins at Highway 9 near Lockport, north of Winnipeg. The highway travels east through Beausejour before heading southeast in concurrency with Highway 11 for approximately 20 kilometres (12 miles) and then continues southeast through Whiteshell Provincial Park. PTH 44 ends at the Trans-Canada Highway near the Ontario boundary. It is a substandard highway through Whiteshell Park, more comparable to a Provincial Road with little to no shoulder and an uneven driving surface.[1] The speed limit along Highway 44 is 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph) outside Whiteshell Park and between 60 kilometres per hour (37 mph) and 90 kilometres per hour (56 mph) within the park.
