Routing: OH 247 begins at a rather unusual spot: a private boat ramp along the Ohio River in Wrightsville, approximately 4 blocks south of US 52.  The highway travels northerly through Adams County, passing through West Union and Seaman before entering into Highland County.  There, OH 247 continues north, and goes into Hillsboro, where it comes to an end at OH 73.

View of OH 247's Southern Terminus in the hamlet of Wrightsville, where the state route dead ends within a stone's throw of the Ohio River at a private boat launch ramp for the Wrightsville Boat Club.  An END OH 247 shield is present, along with a number of signs warning the general public not to pass beyond this point.
