State Route 300, also called the Georgia-Florida Parkway, begins at I-75 exit 99 at Cordele in Crisp County and ends at the Georgia-Florida line below Thomasville in Thomas County. It is approximately 116 miles long.

From north to south, it goes through Cordele, Warwick, Oakfield, Albany, Baconton, Camilla, Pelham, Meigs, and Thomasville.

South of Albany, it coincides with U.S. 19 which eventually intersects I-10 and continues south to St. Petersburg, Florida.

Much of S.R. 300 follows the route of cancelled Interstate 175, which would have connected the city of Albany to the Interstate system via I-75. The portion of S.R. 300 that parallels the now-defunct I-175 between Cordele and Albany was formerly known as S.R. 257, and the portion of S.R. 300 from Albany to the Florida State Line was S.R. 333.

The original S.R. 300 was a route between Monticello and U.S. 129/U.S. 441/S.R. 24 near Rock Eagle 4-H Center.

In Florida, U.S. 19 becomes the Florida-Georgia Parkway.
