State Route 95 is a state highway located in west-central San Juan, eastern Garfield, and central Wayne counties, in the southeast of the U.S. state of Utah.
It runs 124-miles west from the junction of U.S. Highway 191 (4.3 miles south of the town of Blanding), to the junction of Utah SR-24 in the town of Hanksville. It crosses Cottonwood Wash just west of the US-191 junction; follows and crosses the White Canyon River; and crosses the Colorado River and the northeast end of Lake Powell, near the confluence of the Dirty Devil River, which it crosses just two miles later.
29 miles west of the US-191 junction it meets Utah SR-261, 2 miles west of there Utah SR-275 spurs off to the northwest to Natural Bridges National Monument, and it intersects with Utah SR-276 twice, on either side of Lake Powell.
It passes through the small community of Fry Canyon. It bears mentioning that Fry's Canyon (also referred to as Fry's Gulch) contains the only gas station between Hanksville and Blanding, and even that station is rarely open. Travellers would be well advised to fill their tanks and purchase any supplies they may need in either Hanksville or Blanding before continuing down the road.
