State Route 61 (SR-61) is a nearly 7.3-mile-long (11.7 km) state highway in the U.S. state of Utah, connecting SR-23 in Cornish, Cache County to U.S. Route 91 (US-91) near Richmond via Lewiston, in the extreme northern part of the state. The highway has existed since at least 1914, as SR-61 since at least 1937, and between 735 and 2,180 vehicles travel along the highway on an average day in 2012.
At the intersection of SR-23 (4800 West) and 13400 North in the center of Cornish, SR-61 departs east on 13400 North due east, crossing over a single track belonging to the Union Pacific Railroad (UP). Exiting Cornish, the highway crosses the Bear River and continues east through rural Cache County. Just shy of the western city limits of Lewiston, the highway intersects SR-200 (800 West), a connector road to Preston, Idaho. From the western terminus to SR-200, the shoulder is up to four feet (1.2 m) wide, suitable for bicycling, however the remainder of the route has much narrower shoulders, between less than or equal to one and nine-tenths feet (0.58 m) wide.
