Hanson Lake Road
GPS:	54d 30.26m N	103d 31.70m W	1014 feet
Location:	Road #106 between Smeaton and Creighton
Hanson Lake Road opened officially in 1965. This 360 kilometre road between Smeaton and Creighton provided an all weather link between Prince Albert and Flin Flon. Construction began in 1958 as part of a Federal-Provincial road to resources program. This road opened up a vast area for fishing, hunting, prospecting and mining. Olaf Hanson, a veteran trapper, prospector and outdoorsman from the area, lent his name to the road. He assisted in determining the road's route through this part of the Canadian Shield. His knowledge proved invaluable as the road crosses large areas of muskeg, lakes and rivers as well as rock outcroppings.
