Route description
Highway 23 begins at Highway 55 about 9 km north of the town of Carrot River. Continuing south from Carrot River, the highway provides access to Pasquia Regional Park and crosses the Carrot River. About 8.5 km south of the river crossing, the highway turns west where it passes through Arborfield. A short distance west of Arborfield, the highway turns back south where it continues this southerly travel until just north of Bjorkdale. This section of highway has a 3.3 km concurrency with Highway 3 and provides access to Crooked River.
From Bjorkdale, Highway 23 heads east to its southern terminus at Highway 9. Communities along this stretch of highway include Chelan, Porcupine Plain, Carragana, Somme, Weekes, and Bertwell. North-west of Chelan, Highway 23 crosses the Red Deer River and near Bertwell, it crosses the Etomami River.
