[edit] Route description

SR 289 is a 10.33-mile (16.62 km) highway that runs from I-19 westward to the Pena Blanca Dam, passing through sparsely inhabited territory. It does not pass through any cities or towns and primarily serves as access for recreation at Pena Blanca Lake.^[2] From its eastern terminus at I-19, the highway heads in a western direction before curving towards the southwest. The highway eventually curves back towards the west until it turns north towards the lake. There is a Y junction where the road branches off to the lake to the north and a forest road that continues west that connects to a very scenic drive through the Coronado National Forest. This road passes Arivaca Peak, Sycamore Canyon, the ghost town of Ruby and continues west to the town of Arivaca and SR 286. This stretch requires four-wheel drive and there are no services along the entire stretch.^[1]^[3]
