Route Description
OH 708 begins at its junction with OH 235 in Washington Township, at the northwestern corner of the Russells Point Honda manufacturing plant. OH 708 heads east from that intersection, brushing the northern portion of the production facility's property, then following a sweeping curve to the northeast, amidst which the highway intersects Roughton Road. Now traveling in a northerly direction, the highway meets World Class Drive, which forms the northerly leg of the intersection between OH 235 and OH 708, and virtually acts as a loop that comes back around to meet OH 708. North of there, OH 708 curves to the northeast, and enters into Russells Point. Known as Orchard Island Road through the village, OH 708 passes by a number of side streets before entering into the main business district of Russells Point. There, OH 708 arrives at a signalized intersection with US 33, followed just one block later by its junction with OH 366. Northeast of OH 366, OH 708 makes its way out onto Orchard Island in Indian Lake. The route turns easterly briefly, then takes a sweeping curve to the northeast that brings the route to a bridge over a connector waterway within Indian Lake, where OH 708 departs Russells Point and enters onto Orchard Island. About a block later, OH 708 arrives at its northern terminus at Indian Lake State Park, where the route transitions into Township Road 253, which continues further onto the cottage-filled island that serves as part of the state park.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
“God damnit, why must all those journalists be such sticklers for detail? Why, they’d hold you to an accurate description of the first time you ever made love, expecting you to remember the color of the room and the shape of the windows.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
