Along Highway 21's route, it intersects two interprovincial highways, provides access to multiple communities, crosses several large rivers, and travels through provincial parks. The highways include the Trans-Canada and Yellowhead while some of the larger communities are Maple Creek, Kindersley, Kerrobert, and Unity. Significant rivers include the Frenchman, South Saskatchewan, Battle, and the North Saskatchewan. Near the southern end, the highway provides access to Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, which is Canada's first interprovincial park; towards the northern end, it travels through Bronson Forest Recreation Site, which has a thriving population of wild ponies;[3] and the northern terminus is in Meadow Lake Provincial Park, which is Saskatchewan's largest park.
