Route description
State Route 551 commences at a T-intersection with State Route 220 near Lake White State Park southwest of Waverly. Abutted by forest on the south side for most of its length, State Route 551 starts out in a southerly direction, then hooks around the west end of Lake White, bending to the northeast. Generally following in parallel with the south shore of Lake White, the state highway passes a number of cottages and side streets that connect to additional cottages. The highway then travels in an inverted "U", curving east and then to the south and southeast. State Route 551 turns east just prior to arriving at its endpoint at a T-intersection with State Route 104.[2]
No part of State Route 551 is included within the National Highway System.[3]
