From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
State Route 690 is a north-south state highway in the southeastern portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. Its southern terminus is at U.S. Route 50 about 6½ miles east of Athens, and its northern terminus is at State Route 550 about 2 miles west of Amesville. The route passes through Wayne National Forest and, within recent years, offers a quicker route connecting State Route 550 to the Athens Bypass.
