[3][4] It continues east into rolling forestland and passes farmland before descending towards the unincorporated community of Loon Lake.

[5][6] The six-mile-long (9.7 km), two-lane highway primarily connects Springdale to Loon Lake, along with serving recreational traffic in the area.

[17] The state government approved plans to realign US 395 between Loon Lake and Chewelah onto a straighter highway in early 1957.

[25] In 1991, the state government proposed decommissioning SR 292 and transferring it to county maintenance, but were opposed by civic leaders from Springdale who feared that logging trucks would be unable to use the county-maintained road.

[27] In response to safety concerns and 19 collisions from 2017 to 2022, WSDOT constructed a roundabout to replace the eastern terminus of SR 292 at US 395 in Loon Lake.

[28] The roundabout was constructed beginning in September 2022 as part of a larger $12 million repaving project and opened to traffic in early October.
