State Route 606 (SR 606) is a northsouth state highway in the northeastern quadrant of the U.S. state of Ohio. The southern terminus of SR 606 is at a T-intersection with SR 3 approximately 4.50 miles (7.24 km) northeast of Medina.

A state highway, state road, or state route is usually a road that is either numbered or maintained by a sub-national state or province. A road numbered by a state or province falls below numbered national highways in the hierarchy. Roads maintained by a state or province include both nationally numbered highways and un-numbered state highways. Depending on the state, "state highway" may be used for one meaning and "state road" or "state route" for the other.

U.S. state constituent political entity of the United States

In the United States, a state is a constituent political entity, of which there are currently 50. Bound together in a political union, each state holds governmental jurisdiction over a separate and defined geographic territory and shares its sovereignty with the federal government. Due to this shared sovereignty, Americans are citizens both of the federal republic and of the state in which they reside. State citizenship and residency are flexible, and no government approval is required to move between states, except for persons restricted by certain types of court orders. Four states use the term commonwealth rather than state in their full official names.

Starting out, SR 606 is bounded by open fields on the southeast side and houses on the northwest side. The highway crosses Stony Hill Road, then passes amidst a stretch where both sides of the roadway feature a mix of residences and woods, with a little bit of open space mixed in. SR 606 bends east and intersects SR 3 again, this time joined by SR 94. SR 606 crosses the road, and then curves back to the northeast. The area the route travels through is now more heavily wooded than previously, but a number of homes continue to dot the landscape. It curves to the east-northeast, passes Kellogg Road, then turns back to the northeast as it passes by the Hinckley Reservation. After intersecting Bellus Road, SR 606 bends to the north, and then to the northwest, prior to arriving at its endpoint at a T-intersection with the SR 94/SR 303 concurrency about 3.25 miles (5.23 km) west of Richfield.
