Provincial Road 391 (PR 391) is an all-weather highway connecting Thompson and Lynn Lake, in the NorMan Region of the Canadian province of Manitoba. PR 391 is located in the Wapisu Range. PR 391 passes through Leaf Rapids, a community situated northwest of Thompson. Lynn Lake is the last town PR 391 traverses, where it ends at an intersection with PR 397 and PR 396.
The designation of PR 391 was applied in 1966, running from Highway 10 in Simonhouse, using modern-day Highway 39 to Wekusko Lake. It also used modern-day Highway 6 between Highway 39 and Thompson, where a spur to Thompson Airport was designated as Provincial Road 382, a short spur outside of the city. By 1970, PR 382 was absorbed into PR 391. The construction of the section of PR 391 between Lynn Lake and Thompson was done between 1970 and 1974.
In 2016 province announced that a 322-kilometre section of PR 391 connecting Lynn Lake and Thompson would be designated Tom Cochrane's Life Is a Highway, commemorating the Lynn Lake-born singer-songwriter's 1991 hit song of that name.
