Route description

PR 325 begins a few kilometres east of The Narrows in the Rural Municipality of West Interlake in the Oakview community, at a junction with PTH 68 (Northern Woods and Water Route). It winds its way northeast along the narrow Isthmus separating Lake Manitoba and Dog Lake for several kilometers before joining a concurrency (overlap) with PTH 6 and heading due north into the town of Ashern, travelling through a business district and neighbourhoods on the west side of town before PR 325 splits and heads due east along the northern border of the town. Leaving Ashern, the pavement transitions to gravel at an intersection with Cook Road and the highway continues on through forested areas and passes through a section of the Rural Municipality of Grahamdale. Entering the Rural Municipality of Fisher, PR 325 travels through farmland as it has an intersection with PR 233 and crosses the Fisher River. Joining a concurrency with PTH 17, it becomes paved once more and the pair head for a short distance before making a sharp curve to the east to pass through the town of Hodgson, where they cross a creek twice. After crossing Bottle Creek, they immediately have a junction with PR 224 near the southern border of the Peguis First Nation, where PTH 17 ends and PR 325 continues east as a gravel road, entering the Municipality of Bifrost-Riverton through a switchback. After passing through remote woodlands, some of which are portions of Moose Creek Provincial Forest, the highway comes to an end near the shores of Lake Winnipeg at an intersection with PR 234, just north of Washow Bay.^[1][2][3]
