Provincial Trunk Highway 60 (PTH 60) is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It runs from PTH 10 to PTH 6. Much of its length runs adjacent to the north shore of Lake Winnipegosis.

The route connects PTH 6 to PTH 10 and Flin Flon. The speed limit is 100 km/h (62 mph).

The highway is designated as a northern/remote route within Canada's National Highway System.

Route description

PTH 60 begins in Division No. 21 at an intersection with PTH 10 (Northern Woods and Water Route) just a few kilometers north of Overflowing River Provincial Park. It winds its way southeast through remote wooded terrain for several kilometers, where it begins running on the northern coastline of Lake Winnipegosis, as well as traversing the Isthmus between it and Cedar Lake. After crossing into Division No. 19, the highway leaves the isthmus, though still running along Lake Winnipegosis, and enters the Chemawawin Cree Nation. Passing by several homes and an abandoned business (along adjacent 13 Mile Road), it has an intersection with PR 327, a spur road leading to Easterville. After having an intersection with a small gravel road leading to Denbeigh Point, PTH 60 finally leaves Lake Winnipegosis and the First Nation, winding its way east through remote woodlands for several kilometers, traveling past a few smaller lakes, such as Kaweenakumik Lake (signed as Kawinaw Lake) and Katimik Lake, before coming to an end at an intersection with PTH 6 a few kilometers south of Grand Rapids.[1][2]

The entire length of Manitoba Highway 60 is a rural, paved, two-lane highway.
