SR 68 begins at the foothills of the
Appalachian Mountains northeast of
Albertville. There are numerous curves along the highway as it travels through
DeKalb County. The highway maintains a generally eastward trajectory between Albertville and
Collinsville. East of an intersection with
U.S. Route 11 (US 11), the highway turns to the southeast, continuing on this orientation until it approaches
Leesburg. At Leesburg, SR 68 and
US 411 intersect and begin a
concurrency as they cross
Weiss Lake and
Weiss Dam and approach
Centre. SR 68 diverts from US 411 and begins a concurrency with
SR 9 as the two highways again cross the lake, diverting from each other at
Cedar Bluff. From there, SR 68 travels to the northeast as it approaches the
Georgia state line. ==Major intersections==
