Alberta Provincial Highway No. 627, commonly referred to as Highway 627, is a highway in the province of Alberta, Canada. It runs west to east through rural parts of Parkland County, beginning at Highway 759 about 12 km (7.5 mi) south of Seba Beach and heads due east. It takes name Maskêkosihk Trail (/mʌsˈkeɪɡoʊsiː/) passes 215 Street/Winterburn Road, before terminating at 184th Street, and continuing along 184th Street to the Anthony Henday Drive in Edmonton.[1] Portions of 23 Avenue NW and 184 Street NW between Winterburn Road and Anthony Henday Drive were renamed Maskêkosihk Trail in February 2016 to honour Cree heritage.[2][3]
