Route description

OH 523 begins at an intersection with OH 19 and County Road 143 in Rice Township. The route heads eastward along a flat terrain, passing a couple of homes and then progressing through fields and nothing else around it. There is an intersection with Fangboner Road (Township Road 166) soon after, but there is no intersections with other state-maintained roads afterwards. County Road 170 comes soon after, crossing at about the midpoint of the highway.^[3]
