This access road to Turnor Lake was built when Highway 155 was built to La Loche during the 1960s.[3] Highway 909 was rebuilt beginning in 1997, and this update was completed in September 2001.[4] It is entirely unpaved.
Along the highway are local trails leading to lakes. The Palmbere Lake access trail is 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) from the turn-off and the McAnesley Lake access trail is 22 kilometres (14 mi) from the turn-off.[5]
At the end of Highway 909 in the village of Turnor Lake a 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) road leads south-east to the northern shore of Frobisher Lake.
