Route description

SR 718 begins at an intersection with SR 721 and County Road 74 (CR 74) in an area west of Pleasant Hill. The route heads eastward, passing homes and fields for a stretch. The terrain in this area is flat with little changes in elevation. SR 718 continues on, intersecting CR 69 and CR 9. The route crosses the Stillwater River, and enters the village of Pleasant Hill.
