The highway narrows to two lanes and its speed limit is reduced from 110 km/h to 50 km/h as it winds its way through the village.

Conveniently located, Chamberlain is only about a half-hour drive from Moose Jaw, an hour from Regina, and one and a half hours from Saskatoon. Highway 11 has been realigned around all other communities along its route, making Chamberlain a unique stopover.
