The Echo Park Road is a 14-mile (one way) unpaved road that takes drivers from the Harpers Corner Road to the banks of the Green River at Echo Park. While much of this road is graded and covered with gravel, high clearance vehicles and four-wheel-drive are strongly recommended due to several dry wash crossings and a steep descent down a series of switchbacks known as "the dugway" over the first two miles. The road is not suitable for RVs. Due to the clay soil, the road is not passable when wet. Always check the weather before heading down the Echo Park Road.
The Echo Park Road leads visitors through rugged and scenic canyons. Places of interest along the way include historic sites, such as the Chew Ranch and petroglyph panels at Pool Creek.
Food, fuel, restrooms, and supplies are not available along this road. The primitive Echo Park Campground, located at the end of the 14-mile road, offers vault toilets, picnic tables, and potable water (when weather allows). Visitors must pack out all trash.
