State Route 376 (SR 376) is a 16.0-mile-long (25.7 km) east–west state highway that travels within portions of Lowndes and Echols counties in the southern part of the U.S. state of Georgia. It connects Clyattville with the Statenville area, via Lake Park. The roadway was built in the late 1950s and designated as SR 376 in 1972.

Route description

SR 376 begins at an intersection with SR 31 in Clyattville, within Lowndes County. The highway travels to the southeast and curves to the east. Later, it curves back to the southeast and makes a longer curve to the east-northeast. It has an interchange with Interstate 75 (I-75). The route continues to the east-northeast and enters the western part of Lake Park, where it intersects US 41/SR 7 (West Marion Avenue). The three highways travel concurrently into the main part of town, where SR 376 splits off to a generally east-northeastern direction. It travels through rural areas of Echols County, and crosses over the Alapahoochee River, until it meets its eastern terminus, an intersection with SR 135 west of Statenville.[1]

SR 376 is not part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.[4]
