Alberta Provincial Highway No. 627[1] is a highway in the province of Alberta, Canada. It runs west-east through rural parts of Parkland County. It begins at Highway 759 about 12 km south of Seba Beach and heads due east until terminating at Winterburn Road. The road continues a short way into Edmonton city limits as Maskêkosihk Trail (/mʌsˈkeɪɡoʊsiː/) to the ring road Anthony Henday Drive at a folded diamond interchange. 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]
