Route description
Hwy 306 begins several kilometres south of Regina at an intersection with Hwy 6 (CanAm Highway), within the Rural Municipality of Bratt's Lake No. 129. It heads due east into the hamlet of Estlin as a paved two-lane highway, where it crosses a former railway line and turns southeast for several kilometres to enter the Rural Municipality of Lajord No. 128. The highway immediately passes through the hamlet of Gray along First Avenue as it runs southeast parallel to the old rail line, passing through Riceton along First Avenue and having a junction with Hwy 622. After the pavement turns to gravel, Hwy 306 travels through Bechard to enter the Rural Municipality of Scott No. 98 and pass through the hamlet of Lewvan, where it has intersections with both Hwy 710 and Hwy 621. Now entering the Rural Municipality of Wellington No. 97, the highway immediately traverses a sudden switchback as it crosses over Colfax Creek shortly before travelling through the hamlet of Colfax along First Street, where it curves due eastward to cross the creek for a second time and turn away from the former railway line. Hwy 306 traverses rural farmland for a few kilometres before coming to an end at an intersection with Hwy 35 a few kilometres north of Cedoux.
