Saskatchewan Highway 6
Highway 6 is a paved undivided major provincial highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It runs from Montana Highway 16 at the Canada–US border near the Canada customs port of Regway to Highway 55 near Choiceland. Highway 6 is about 518 kilometres (322 mi) long. Highway 6 is part of the CanAm Highway from Corinne, through Regina, to Melfort for a distance of about 326 kilometres (203 mi). The CanAm Highway in Saskatchewan comprises (from south to north) Highway 35, Highway 39, Highway 6, Highway 3, Highway 2, and Highway 102.
Major provincial highways that Highway 6 intersects are Highway 18, Highway 13 (Red Coat Trail), Highway 39, Highway 1 (Trans-Canada Highway), Highway 11 (Louis Riel Trail), Highway 99, Highway 22, Highway 15, Highway 16 (Yellowhead Highway), Highway 5, Highway 3, Highway 41, and Highway 55 (Northern Woods and Water Route).
Highway 6 passes through the cities of Regina and Melfort.
Highway 6 begins at the Canada–United States border. The border crossings are Raymond, Montana on Montana Highway 16 in the United States and at Regway, Saskatchewan on Highway 6. Two early name choices for Meyer were Meyersville or Fort Comfort the name of the neighboring North-West Mounted Police (NWMP) post to the north. Minton, became a hamlet in 1930 and in 1951 Minton incorporated as a village. The initial stages of the journey are mixed grassland, and the main economy is ranching. This area traversed is the Big Muddy Badlands area of the Missouri Coteau. The terrain of the Missouri Coteau features low hummocky, undulating, rolling hills, potholes, and grasslands. This physiographic region of Saskatchewan is the uplands Missouri Coteau, a part of the Great Plains Province or Alberta Plateau Region which extends across the south east corner of the province of Saskatchewan. There are several unique geographical features. The Big Muddy Valley, The Hole in the Wall Coulee, Roan Mare Coulee are all deep valleys of the area. The Big Muddy Lake, an alkali lake, could be crossed at the Diamond Crossing was a rise in Big Muddy Lake. Outlaw gangs such as the Jones-Nelson Gang used this undulating landscape to cross the border and hide out. Between the Canada customs port of Regway and Minton are several points of interest such as an old schoolhouse, and the historic Ceylon Park Memorial Garden. Gibson Creek is dammed with Ceylon Dam providing water to the village of Ceylon, as well as the Ceylon Regional Park which is located just off Highway 6. Besides passing ranches, oil and gas wells, agricultural lands producing feed, there are also Pregnant Mare Urine barns along this route. Highway 6 intersects the Red Coat Trail near Pangman at Ceylon.
Corinne is located at the Highway 6 and Highway 39 junction, where the two routes share a short concurrency. It is here that the northern journey of the CanAm Highway continues on Highway 6. The historic Wood Mountain - FortQu'Appelle Trail is marked with a point of interest marker.
The projects on Highways 39 and 6 will help to improve traffic flow through these Canada/U.S. ports. "Highways 6 and 39 are very important to Saskatchewan — serving as tourism links and major north-south trade corridors to the U.S.," Sonntag said.

Highway 6 reaches Regina, which is the capital of Saskatchewan and is the second largest in the province (after Saskatoon). Regina was previously the headquarters of the North-West Territories, of which today's provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta originally formed part, and of the District of Assiniboia. The city is situated on a broad, flat, treeless plain. There is an abundance of parks and greenspaces: all of its trees — some 300,000 — shrubs and other plants were hand-planted and Regina's considerable beauty is entirely man-made. As in other prairie cities, American elms were planted in front yards in residential neighbourhoods and on boulevards along major traffic arteries and are the dominant species in the urban forest. The IPSCO Wildlife Park is located off Highway 6 at Regina.
