Route description

OR 207 begins at an intersection with US 26 in Mitchell. The route continues northward to an intersection with Oregon Route 19 in Service Creek. The route then overlaps OR 19 and heads east through Spray.

At Ruggs, OR 207 overlaps Oregon Route 206, heading north to Heppner. The concurrency with OR 206 ends at Heppner and OR 207 overlaps Oregon Route 74 and heads north to Lexington. It continues past a turnoff to Echo through Sand Hollow and then crosses Interstate 84. It continues north to Hermiston, where it crosses U.S. Route 395. Then, it heads northeast and ends at U.S. 730 about 2 miles (3 km) west of Cold Springs Junction.
