White County SR 75 begins at an
intersection with
US 129/
SR 11 (North Main Street) in
Cleveland in White County. This intersection also marks the southern terminus of
SR 75 Alternate, which runs
concurrent with US 129/SR 11 to the northwest. SR 75 heads north-northeast, past White County Park, to an intersection with the northern terminus of
SR 384. About later, the road crosses over the
Chattahoochee River. Then,
SR 17 (Unicoi Turnpike) begins a concurrency with it to the northwest. Immediately after is another crossing of the Chattahoochee River. In
Helen, a
Germany-themed town, they cross over the river again. They begin to parallel the river to the northwest. Just outside town, they meet the northern terminus of SR 75 Alternate and enter the
Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest. They head north and north-northeast on a curving fashion through the
North Georgia mountains and cross the
Unicoi Gap into Towns County.
Towns County After crossing the
Unicoi Gap, SR 17/SR 75 climbs down until it meets eastern terminus of
SR 180. They then meet the eastern terminus of SR 180 and parallel the
Hiawassee River for a while, before crossing over the river and heading to the north-northwest. They begin a concurrency with
US 76/
SR 2, just to the west of
Macedonia. The four highways meet the eastern terminus of
SR 288 and cross over a portion of
Chatuge Lake. Then, they head northwest to the town of
Hiawassee. In the northern part of town, SR 75 splits off to the northeast. It curves to the northwest, and circles back to the northwest, before leaving the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest, heads west, and curves to the north. It heads due north before a gradual curve to the north-northeast, just before meeting its northern terminus, the
North Carolina state line. Here, the roadway continues as
North Carolina Highway 175. ==History==
