U.S. Route 301 (US 301) is a 170-mile-long (270 km) U.S. Highway in the U.S. state of Georgia. It travels south-to-north from the St. Marys River south-southeast of Folkston to the Savannah River north-northeast of Sylvania.
The highway is signed concurrently with various state highways. It uses SR 4/SR 15 from Florida to Homeland, SR 23 from Folkston to Glennville, SR 38 from Jesup to Ludowici, SR 57 from Ludowici to Glennville, SR 73 from Glennville to US 301's northern terminus, and SR 73 Loop along the western edge of Sylvania. Large portions of US 301 in Georgia are concurrent with US 25.
The route starts at the Florida state line on a bridge over the St. Marys River in eastern Charlton County, and initially travels north as a four-lane highway through Folkston, concurrent with US 1, US 23, and SR 4/SR 15. In Folkston, the highway intersects Main Street, which leads to a popular railfanning site on the west side, and is also the western terminus of SR 40 on the east side. One block later, the road intersects Love Street, which is also the southwestern terminus of SR 252, and later is joined by SR 23/SR 121 where another concurrency begins. A 1.33 miles (2.14 km) connecting route begins along the east side to travel southeast towards SR 40. In Homeland, US 1/US 23/SR 4/SR 15/SR 121 turns to the northwest at an interchange where it crosses into Ware County, and initially forms the county line between Ware County and Brantley County, while US 301/SR 23 heads north into the woods of northeastern Charlton County.
