[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.

About 1.1 kilometres (0.68 mi) from the border, Highway 994 passes through the community of Kinoosao.

It ends about 400 metres (1,300 ft) later, on the shore of Reindeer Lake, as the means of access to the largest employer in the region, the fish processing plant.

[3][4] There were plans to build or replace a bridge along Highway 994 along Reindeer Lake in Kinoosao during the 2008-09 fiscal year.
