PR 329 begins in the Rural Municipality of Fisher at an intersection with PTH 17, just west of Broad Valley. It heads due east as a gravel road, travelling through farmland for several kilometres and passing through the locality of Zbaraz before entering the Municipality of Bifrost-Riverton. The highway enters the hamlet of Morweena, travelling through the centre of town as it crosses the Icelandic River twice before leaving the hamlet and continuing east to an intersection with PR 233 between Vidir and Framnes. Now PR 329 travels just south of Hayek as it heads towards a junction with PR 326, where it becomes paved, and the locality of Ledwyn. Entering the town of Riverton at a junction with PTH 8 (Veterans Memorial Highway), it becomes known as Thompson Drive and heads through neighbourhoods along the southern side of downtown and crosses another bridge over the Icelandic River. Travelling through more neighbourhoods, the highway has an intersection with PR 222 (Sandvik Road) before leaving Riverton and turning to gravel again, winding its way southeast through rural areas to come to a dead end at Sandy Bar Beach, along the shoreline of Lake Winnipeg.[1][2]
