State Route 39 (SR 39) is a 118-mile-long (190 km) state highway that travels south-to-north through portions of Seminole, Miller, Early, Clay, Quitman, and Stewart counties in the southwestern part of the U.S. state of Georgia. The route proceeds north from its southern terminus along the shore of Lake Seminole in southern Seminole County to a point just southwest of Omaha, where it travels in an easterly direction until it meets its northern terminus, an intersection with US 27/SR 1 in the unincorporated community of Louvale Station.
SR 39 begins at a parking lot for a boat ramp along the shore of Lake Seminole, south of Seminole State Park in southern Seminole County. SR 39 travels northwest and west onto Mildred Cummings Road. It then turns to the north and skirts along the western edge of the park, intersecting SR 253 (Bainbridge Highway) on its northwestern corner. The route continues to the north, intersecting the northern terminus of SR 374. Just south of Lela, it skirts along the western edge of the Donalsonville Country Club. In Lela, it intersects SR 285. Just south of Donalsonville, it passes the Donalsonville Municipal Airport and Seminole County Middle/High School. In town, adjacent to Davis Park, is an intersection with SR 91 (Marianna Highway). The two highways begin a concurrency through town. About five blocks to the north is an intersection with US 84/SR 38 (3rd Street). Less than 500 feet (150 m) after crossing over a CSX railway line, the two routes diverge, with SR 39 heading northwest on West Crawford Street. Before leaving town, it curves to a more north-northwestern routing. Approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) later, it enters Miller County. About 1 mile (1.6 km) north-northwest of the county line, SR 39 curves to a due north routing. Farther to the north, at the intersection with Moulton Road and Shingler Road, the highway heads to the west and enters Early County.
