Route description

Southern segment

SR 177 begins at an intersection with US 441/SR 89/SR 94 just southeast of Fargo, in Clinch County. It heads northeast, through portions of Ware and Charlton counties. SR 177 enters the Okefenokee Swamp and then the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. Farther to the northeast it enters Stephen C. Foster State Park and ends at a dead end in the northern end of the park.[1]

Northern segment

The route resumes at the northern entrance of Okefenokee Swamp Park. It travels to the north and then to the northeast and has an intersection with US 1/US 23/SR 4 west of Laura S. Walker State Park, which is located southeast of Waycross, in Ware County. It travels along the southern edge of the park, and very briefly enters Brantley County. SR 177 re-enters Ware County, and enters the park. The highway heads to the north-northwest of US 82/SR 520, north of the park.[2]

National Highway System

SR 177 is not part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.[3]

gollark: So it knows exactly where all the links go.
gollark: It's built vaguely based on the trendy™ graph-structured note-taking stuff which is now popular.
gollark: It has those relations. However, no.
gollark: Now, yes, it stores outbound links. I could add some complex invalidation logic. However, no.
gollark: As I said; if I did make it prerender all documents to HTML on save, which I certainly could do, then it would not recolor links if you changed one of the ~~links~~ linked pages.
