Saskatchewan's 200-series highways primarily service its recreational areas.

The highway is entirely within The Battlefords Provincial Park.

It begins at Highway 4 north of Cochin and heads into the park where it provides access to its amenities.

In May 2022,[2] the Saskatchewan government announced plans to repave and improve the highways in and around The Battlefords Provincial Park.

[3][4] This work — at a cost of $9.8 million — included a section of Highway 4, the entire 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) of Highway 204, and many of the roads and parking lots within the park.
