The backway provides access to the Griffin Top and Hell's Backbone, offering excellent opportunities to fish or simply explore. It ends at Highway 24 near Loa.

Posey Lake is a mountain lake accessible from the Posey Lake Scenic Backway, located 13 miles northwest of Escalante. The lake is popular for trout fishing and has a U.S. Forest Service campground. Dirt roads that connect with other lakes, reservoirs and campgrounds in the surrounding Dixie National Forest make excellent mountain bike rides.
