Route description
SR 288 begins at an intersection with US 76/SR 2/SR 17 west of Hiawassee. The route runs southeast, then northeast, then southeast again, before turning east to meet its eastern terminus, an intersection with US 76/SR 2/SR 17/SR 75 southeast of Hiawassee. Parts of the highway hug the southwestern shore of Lake Chatuge, and the highway provides access to the Lake Chatuge Recreation Area. The route serves as a functional bypass route for US 76 around Hiawassee, although it is longer than taking US 76 through downtown. The route is known as Sunnyside Road for its entire length.
