State Route 252 (SR-252) is a state highway that runs more than six miles (ten kilometers) in Cache County in the northern Utah city of Logan. The route goes from its southern terminus of US-89/US-91 and heads on a northerly path through the west side of Logan. The route's northern terminus is at US-91.
SR-252 begins at US-89/US-91 in southwestern Logan, near the Logan River Golf Course, ICON Health & Fitness corporate headquarters and HyClone's corporate headquarters, and heads north on 1000 West across the Logan River. On the southeast corner of the intersection with 600 South is Woodruff Elementary School; access from 1000 West was closed before the 2008-2009 school year as a condition of the addition of SR-252 to the state highway system. As it continues north, SR-252 crosses 200 North (SR-30) and 400 North (a proposed realignment of SR-30) near the Cache County Jail. Finally it reaches 2500 North (Airport Road) on the south boundary of the Logan-Cache Airport, where SR-252 turns east to its northern terminus at Main Street (US-91) in North Logan.
When the Cache Valley was settled and developed in the 19th century, the north–south road through the eastern part of the valley connected all the towns, including Hyrum, Providence, Logan, Hyde Park, and Smithfield. Later, when Logan's Main Street was extended north and south, it bypassed Providence, Hyde Park, and the newer communities of Millville, River Heights, and North Logan to the west. This more direct route became the main state highway through the area in the 20th century, carrying SR-1 (US-91) north of and SR-101 (now SR-165) south of Logan.
