Highway 994 is a provincial highway in the far north region of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is one of the province's shortest highways at about 1.1 kilometres (0.68 mi) long.[1][2] The highway provides access to the isolated community of Kinoosao.[3] Due to its geographic location, it is one of only two provincial highways in Saskatchewan that requires entering the neighbouring province of Manitoba to travel it, the other is Hwy 967. The route begins at the shores of Reindeer Lake in Kinoosao and heads east a short distance to the provincial line, where it continues eastward as Manitoba Provincial Road 394 towards Lynn Lake, Manitoba.
