State Route 39 is a north-south state route located in the southwestern part of the U.S. state of Georgia. The route travels from Lake Seminole in southern Seminole County north to U.S. 27/S.R. 1 north of Lumpkin.

Routing

From its southern terminus at Lake Seminole, State Route 39 travels north to Donalsonville, where it is briefly cosigned with State Route 91. After intersecting U.S. Route 84/State Route 38, the routes continue to the north side of the city, where State Route 39 departs and continues north into Miller County. After briefly travelling north in Miller County, the route jogs to the west into Early County, where it resumes its northward route to Blakely. In Blakely, State Route 39 becomes cosigned with U.S. Route 27 Business / State Route 1 Business north through downtown. On the north side of the city, State Route 39 departs U.S. Route 27 Business/State Route 1 Business, and, after briefly traveling west cosigned with State Route 62 Bypass, continues north to Fort Gaines, where it is briefly cosigned with State Route 37. North of Fort Gaines, State Route 39 runs along the eastern shore of Walter F. George Lake, and passes through George T. Bagby State Park. Southeast of Georgetown, the route becomes cosigned with U.S. Route 82/State Route 50 westward. Just to the east of Georgetown, State Route 39 departs to the north, running parallel to the Chattahoochee River. Shortly after passing Florence Marina State Park, the route takes a drastic turn to the east at Omaha where it meets State Route 39 Spur, and continues east to its northern terminus at U.S. Route 27/State Route 1 north of Lumpkin.

History

The portion of State Route 39 north of Georgetown was formerly State Route 375. However, it was renumbered as an extension of State Route 39 after just a few months. [http://psr.southeastroads.com/ga375_profile.htm]
