Route description

SR 601 starts at the intersection of SR 18 and Greenwich-Milan Town Line Road southeast of Norwalk in northern Huron County. Heading north from there, along the west side of SR 601 is Summit Motorsports Park, and immediately to the north of that, Norwalk-Huron County Airport. The east side of SR 601 has more of a rural feel to it. North of the airport, SR 601 intersects US 20. After straddling the boundary between Norwalk Township and Townsend Township up to a point north of the US 20 intersection, SR 601 starts to bend to the northwest, entirely into Norwalk Township. Through this stretch, the two-lane highway encounters a blend of farmland, occasional homes and even a few businesses. SR 601 passes through an intersection with Gibbs Road, then continues on to its junction with SR 61, which is a signalized intersection. [2]
