The area is entirely boreal forest sporting evergreens, poplar and birch along the route. The highway begins by circumventing the western perimeter of White Gull Lake and then meanders around the south-eastern coastline of Whiteswan Lakes before turning east into the Cub Hills. White Swan Lake is home to a provincial recreation site, White Swan Lake Resort, Nature's Haven Lodge[5] and cottages. The highway ends in the heart of Narrow Hills Provincial Park.
