Ohio State Route 565 is a short east-west route in southeastern Noble County and in southwestern Monroe County. It is completely rural in nature, passing through no towns. The western end is at Ohio Route 145. From there, it meanders eastward through the hillsides. The eastern end occurs as Ohio Route 260 comes from the south to turn easterly onto the roadway. The roadway continues east as Ohio Route 260's continuation, and it soon bends to the north.
My photo for Ohio Route 565 shows the first eastbound trailblazer, seen at the route's western beginning. Travelers on Ohio Route 145 will see this scene immediately after turning easterly onto Route 565. This photo was taken during the grand tour of southeastern Ohio in March 2021.
