Highway 271 is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan's 200-series highways primarily service its recreational areas. The highway runs from Highway 21 in Maple Creek to Fort Walsh National Historic Site, located within the western block of Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park. It connects with Highways 724 and 615 and is about 54 km long.

Route description

Hwy 271 begins within Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park at the main parking lot for the Fort Walsh National Historic Site, heading northeast for a few kilometres before making a sharp right at an intersection with Ranger Station Road. The highway now winds its way down a mountain pass out of the Cypress Hills via sharp switchbacks, leaving the park and making a left at the junction with Hwy 615. It heads northeast through remote prairie lands for the next several kilometres, crossing a few small creeks before becoming concurrent (overlapped) with eastbound Hwy 724, with the pair heading due east to enter the town of Maple Creek along 5th Avenue, with Hwy 271 coming to an end at the junction with Hwy 21 just past the local hospital, with Hwy 724 continuing east through neighbourhoods along 5th Avenue. The entire length of Hwy 271 is a paved, two-lane highway, and is located within the Rural Municipality of Maple Creek No. 111.
