Highway 36 is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It runs from Montana Highway 13 at the US border at the Port of Coronach north to Highway 2. It is about long.

Travel route

Highway 36 begins at the Scobey–Coronach Border Crossing and heads due north where it meets and begins a 21km (13miles) concurrency with Highway 18. The concurrency heads west where it crosses the East Poplar River — a major tributary of the Poplar River and the location of the Poplar River Power Station. From the river crossing, Highway 36 and 18 head north-west to Coronach.[1] Beyond Coronach, the concurrency continues north-west for a further before Highway 18 splits off west and Highway 36 continues north towards Willow Bunch. As the highway approaches Willow Bunch, it provides access to Jean Louis Legare Regional Park[2] and traverses the Big Muddy Badlands.

Highway 36 continues north from Willow Bunch[3] where it runs past the western shore of Willow Bunch Lake and meets Highway 13. It has a eastward concurrency with 13 before returning to its northerly routing towards Highway 2. Along the route towards Highway 2, it passes through the communities of Crane Valley and Galilee[4] and to the west of The Dirt and Cactus Hills.[5]
