Route description
SR 575 is located in Erie County on the western portion of the island of, and within the village of, Kelleys Island in Lake Erie. The route begins at the Neumans Ferry Dock, where the ferry that connects the island with Marblehead on the mainland is based. It follows West Lakeshore Drive heading northwest from that point. Lake Erie abuts the highway on the southwest side, while a number of residences appear on the northeast side. SR 575 curves to the north and then to the northeast as it passes the westernmost point of Kelleys Island. SR 575 then follows a sharp curve that takes it inland at a transition from West Lakeshore Drive onto Titus Road. For the majority of its remaining length, SR 575 travels in an east-northeasterly fashion, passing amidst heavy woods, and coming to an end where it meets Division Street at a T-intersection.
This state highway is not included as a part of the National Highway System (NHS). The NHS is a network of routes considered to be most important for the economy, mobility and defense of the nation. Some 790 vehicles use SR 575 on average each day.
