Highway 9 is a paved, undivided provincial highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.[2] It runs from North Dakota Highway 8 at the US border near Port of Northgate until it transitions into Provincial Road 283 at the Manitoba provincial boundary.

The Saskota Flyway (Highway 9) is known as the International Road to Adventure, because it takes you from Hudson Bay, Saskatchewan, all the way south to Bismarck, North Dakota.[3]

Highway 9 is about 606 km (376 mi.) long and passes through Carlyle, Yorkton, Canora, Preeceville, and Hudson Bay. It intersects Highway 1, Highway 16, and Highway 5. Highway 9 is a gravel surfaced road from Hudson Bay north to the Manitoba border, passing the junction with Highway 55. Highway 9 is also known as the Saskota Flyway Scenic Drive Route[4] or Saskota Flyway[5] while the section between Highway 55 and the Manitoba border is part of the Northern Woods and Water Route.[6]
