'''State Route 285''' ('''SR 285''') is a west–east [[state highway]] located in the [[southwest Georgia|southwestern part]] of the [[U.S. state]] of [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]].
==Route description== SR 285 begins at an [[intersection (road)|intersection]] with [[Georgia State Route 91|SR 91]] (which goes to the state line) southwest of [[Donalsonville, Georgia|Donalsonville]], in [[Seminole County, Georgia|Seminole County]], where the roadway continues as Butler Ferry Road. The route heads southeast along River Road for a short distance before turning and running nearly due east through rural portions of Seminole County. On its way through Seminole County, it intersects [[Georgia State Route 39|SR 39]]. Almost immediately after entering [[Decatur County, Georgia|Decatur County]], the route meets its eastern terminus. The route creates a direct route from the Florida State line for drivers in towns like [[Malone, Florida|Malone]] and [[Bascom, Florida|Bascom]] to get to [[U.S. Route 84|US 84]]/[[Bainbridge, Georgia|Bainbridge]]. It is close to the FL-GA-AL tripoint.
