State Route 183 marker

State Route 183 (SR 183) is a state route that runs south-to-north through portions of Dawson County in north-central Georgia. The route runs from its southern terminus at SR 53 west of Dawsonville to its northern terminus at SR 52 south of Amicalola Falls State Park. SR 183, together with SR 136, is the primary feeder route from the south to Amicalola Falls and Amicalola Falls State Park.

SR 183 starts at its intersection with SR 53, just west of Dawsonville, and just east of Atlanta Motorsports Park, designed by Hermann Tilke. The route, which is known as Elliot Family Parkway for its entirety, initially runs north, then curves northwest where it intersects Keith Evans Road, which continues straight north, and which used to be signed as SR 342, before this state route designation was decommissioned.

SR 183 runs through the community of Juno and intersects SR 136 soon thereafter, and is co-signed with it for a short run, before SR 136 splits off and heads straight west, while SR 183 continues northwest. The route reaches its northern terminus as it meets SR 52, where that route dips south and then north again, and forms the southern border of Amicalola Falls State Park. SR 183 provides the primary access from the south to Amicalola Falls, with SR 52 providing access from the west and east. This state park also forms the southernmost section of the Blue Ridge Wildlife Management Area, a southern province of the Appalachian Mountains range.
