Kentucky Route 205 (KY 205) is a 7.1-mile-long (11.4 km) state highway in the U.S. state of Kentucky. The highway connects mostly rural areas of Breathitt, Wolfe, and Morgan counties with Jackson, Vancleve, and Helechawa.
KY 205 begins at an intersection with KY 30 in Jackson, within Breathitt County. The highway parallels the North Fork Kentucky River. It travels to the north-northwest, leaves Jackson, crosses over Shacks Branch, and intersects the southern terminus of KY 3193. It curves to the east-northeast, leaving the river. Then, it curves to the northeast and intersects KY 15. The two highway travel concurrently to the northwest, rejoining the river along the way. When they split, KY 205 travels to the southwest and curves to the west-northwest and travels through Fivemile. The highway curves to the north and intersects the northern terminus of KY 3193. It crosses over Frozen Boone Fork immediately before an intersection with the northern terminus of KY 541 (Mt. Carmel Road). KY 205 heads to the northeast, paralleling the fork, and has an interchange with KY 15/KY 1812. Here, KY 205 and KY 1812 begin a concurrency. They cross over Little Frozen Creek, travel through Wilhurst, and cross Boone Fork before they split. KY 205 heads to the northeast and crosses over the fork. It then crosses over the fork two more times and travels through Simpson. The highway curve to the northeast and enters Wolfe County.
