Highway 6 begins at the Canada–United States border. The border crossings are Raymond, Montana on Montana Highway 16 in the United States and at Regway, Saskatchewan on Hwy 6.[5] Two early name choices for Meyer were Meyersville or Fort Comfort the name of the neighboring North-West Mounted Police (NWMP) post to the north. Minton, became a hamlet in 1930 and in 1951 Minton incorporated as a village.[6] The initial stages of the journey are mixed grassland, and the main economy is ranching.[7] This area traversed is the Big Muddy Badlands area of the Missouri Coteau. The terrain of the Missouri Coteau features low hummocky, undulating, rolling hills, potholes, and grasslands. This physiographic region of Saskatchewan is the uplands Missouri Coteau, a part of the Great Plains Province or Alberta Plateau Region which extends across the south east corner of the province of Saskatchewan.[8] There are several unique geographical features. The Big Muddy Valley, The Hole in the Wall Coulee, Roan Mare Coulee are all deep valleys of the area. The Big Muddy Lake, an alkali lake, could be crossed at the Diamond Crossing was a rise in Big Muddy Lake. Outlaw gangs such as the Jones-Nelson Gang used this undulating landscape to cross the border and hide out. The Big Muddy Lake itself is as are West Coteau and East Coteau lake.[9] Between the Canada customs port of Regway, and Minton are several points of interest such as an old schoolhouse, and the historic Ceylon Park Memorial Garden.[10] Gibson Creek is dammed with Ceylon Dam providing water to the village of Ceylon, as well as the Ceylon Regional Park which is located just off Hwy 6.[11] Besides passing ranches, oil and gas wells, agricultural lands producing feed, there are also Pregnant Mare Urine barns along this route.[12] Hwy 6 intersects the Red Coat Trail near Pangman at Ceylon.
Highway 6 section of CanAm Highway begins
Corinne is located at the Hwy 6 and Hwy 39 junction, where the two routes share a short concurrency. It is here that the northern journey of the CanAm Highway continues on Hwy 6. The historic Wood Mountain - FortQu'Appelle Trail is marked with a point of interest marker.

The projects on Highways 39 and 6 will help to improve traffic flow through these Canada/U.S. ports. "Highways 6 and 39 are very important to Saskatchewan – serving as tourism links and major north-south trade corridors to the U.S.," Sonntag said.

Sk Hwy 6 and Sk Hwy 1, the TransCanada Hwy Cloverleaf interchange south of Regina one of the first two SK interchanges which opened in 1967.[14]
Hwy 6 reaches Regina, which is the capital of Saskatchewan and is the second largest in the province (after Saskatoon). Regina was previously the headquarters of the North-West Territories, of which today's provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta originally formed part, and of the District of Assiniboia.[15] The city is situated on a broad, flat, treeless plain. There is an abundance of parks and greenspaces: all of its trees – some 300,000[16] – shrubs and other plants were hand-planted and Regina's considerable beauty is entirely man-made.[17] As in other prairie cities, American elms were planted in front yards in residential neighbourhoods and on boulevards along major traffic arteries and are the dominant species in the urban forest. The IPSCO Wildlife Park is located off Hwy 6 at Regina.[18]
Hwy 6 and Hwy 1, the Trans-Canada Hwy, intersect at a cloverleaf interchange at the south end of Regina, it is one of the first two Saskatchewan interchanges which opened in 1967.[14] Hwy 6 formerly followed Albert Street through the city, although signage now points Hwy 6 to follow Ring Road and bypass the downtown area;[19][20] however, some maps and remnant signage and still show Hwy 6 as following the former route. North of Victoria Avenue, Hwy 6 shares a concurrency with Hwy 11 until the route reaches the north end of the Regina, where the routes rejoins Albert Street. Hwy 11 branches northwest towards Saskatoon and Hwy 6 leaves Regina.
The Qu'Appelle River flows east–west across the province, Highway 6 goes through the Qu'Appelle valley north of Regina. A crosswalk was installed at Southey, with overhead lights giving higher visibility to pedestrians crossing Hwy 6 at Assiniboia Avenue.[21]

In the Aspen Parkland ecoregion, deer and other large ungulates are a hazard to traffic, resulting in potential animal or human deaths, especially in the autumn mating months or when deer are searching for feeding grounds in the spring. The defense mechanism of deer in the face of a threat is to freeze. There are over 3,500 deer–auto collisions per year in Saskatchewan.[22] A number of measures have been implemented to increase awareness such as fencing, feeding programs, automobile whistles.[23] Deer mirrors along the edges of highways were installed for reducing deer-vehicle collisions.[24] The Wildlife Warning System is triggered by highway vehicles, setting off lights, sounds and or odours ahead of the approaching vehicle to frighten away animals. A system that detects vehicle was installed in 2002 near Harris to reduce the quantity of mule deer–automobile accidents for a two-year testing period.[25] Another system detects large animals and sets off a warning system to drivers of vehicles, alerting them that an animal is on or near the highway ahead of time.[22][26]
McNab Regional Park is located south of Watson featuring pool and golf course.[27] Watson is located amid the junction of Hwy 5 and Hwy 6.[28] In this area Hwy 6 is traveling through the boreal-transition ecoregion.
Highway 6 is a major north/south highway that has been experiencing higher volumes of truck traffic and general traffic, ... By strengthening the base of this section, we are ensuring Highway 6 will be able to support these heavier loads.
— Highways and Transportation Minister Pat Atkinson[29]
The highway travels east of Lake Charron upon which Lake Charron Regional Park offers camping, fishing, nature trails and snowmobiling trails.[30] Naicam is served by Hwy 6, and Hwy 349.[31] This area is sustained by agriculture, with the ecosystem changing from the rolling parkland to boreal forest. The Barrier river valley, Kipabiskau Regional Park, and Lake Charron Regional Park are nearby features.[32]
Highway No. 6 has a much higher traffic count, many more trucks in and out from the States than Highway No. 35 would have.’’
— The Highway Minister Maynard Sonntag[33]

Melfort, a city of about 6,000, is located on Hwy 6, Hwy 3, and Sk Hwy 41.[34][35] The CanAm Highway continues north on Hwy 3.
Melfort post office
The South Saskatchewan and North Saskatchewan Rivers join together west of the highway. The highway thus crosses the Saskatchewan River. The Fort à la Corne Provincial Park and the confluence of the Saskatchewan River Basin are two major attractions in this area.[36] Choiceland is located 1 mile (1.6 km) north of Hwy 55, the terminus junction of Hwy 6.[37] The rural municipality of Torch River No. 488 is located past the tree line of Saskatchewan. There are several recreational sites in the area such as Scot's Landing on the Saskatchewan River and Carrolls Cove Campground, Pruden's Point at Tobin Lake.[38]
History
In 1999 the asphalt concrete pavement section of Highway 6 north of Raymore was tested with a Cold in-place recycling or “CIR” method to rehabilitate highways. This CIR process is a cost-effective method which recycles the top surface of a road. This pulverized material is mixed with asphalt emulsion and spread and compacted back onto the highway surface. This surface is then recovered with a new seal dependent on traffic volume.[39]
