Route description
SR 51 begins at an intersection with SR 52 in Lula, in Hall County. It travels northeast and curves to the southeast to cross into Banks County before it leaves town. It heads to the southeast and meets the northern terminus of SR 323 (John Morris Road) before entering Homer. There, it meets the northern terminus of SR 164 (Historic Homer Highway). At this intersection, the highway begins heading to the northeast taking over the Historic Homer Highway and enters downtown where it intersects Athens Street and Yonah Homer Road, the former of which is an old segment of SR 98. Later the road makes a slight curve to the southeast and then goes back to the northeast, crosses a bridge over the Hudson River, and then turns east off of the Historic Homer Highway onto Old Federal Road. Then, it intersects US 441/SR 15. Then, the route continues to the east, intersecting SR 63 (Martin Bridge Road) in Jewelville, just before entering Franklin County.
