Minnesota State Highway 244 (MN 244) is a highway in Minnesota, which runs from its intersection with State Highway 120 and Ramsey County Road 15 (County E) at the White Bear Lake–Mahtomedi city boundary and continues briefly east and then north to its northern terminus at its intersection with State Highway 96 in Dellwood. The route is 5 miles (8.0 km) in length.
Highway 244 is also known as Wildwood Road, Mahtomedi Avenue, and Dellwood Avenue at various points throughout its route. The route is located in Washington County.
Highway 244 serves as a north–south route between the communities of Mahtomedi, Willernie, and Dellwood. The route forms an arc around the east side of White Bear Lake.
The road runs primarily through a heavily wooded, residential area. That, combined with hilly terrain and numerous curves, results in a 30–35 mph (50–55 km/h) speed limit for most of its length. It becomes 45 mph (70 km/h) after the junction with County Road 12, and lowers to 40 mph (65 km/h) when it reaches the commercial area at its southern terminus with Highway 120 and County Road 15.
The route is legally defined as Route 244 in the Minnesota Statutes.
Highway 244 was authorized on July 1, 1949. The route had been paved prior to it becoming a state highway.
