Georgia State Route 5
State Route 5 (SR 5) is a state highway that runs south-to-north through portions of Carroll, Douglas, Cobb, Cherokee, Pickens, Gilmer, and Fannin counties in western and northern Georgia. The route runs from its southern terminus at AL 48 at the Georgia-Alabama state line north of Ephesus to its northern terminus at TN 68 at the Tennessee state line near McCaysville, and bisects the northwestern portion of Georgia.
SR 5 passes through the county seats of Blue Ridge, Ellijay, Jasper, Canton, Marietta, and Douglasville. Along the way, it overlaps one of metro Atlanta's freeways, I-575. From the Cherokee/Pickens County line to Blue Ridge, Georgia 5 is cosigned with SR 515. It also shares routing with US 76 from Ellijay to Blue Ridge. This route parallels the Marietta and North Georgia Rail Line.
