Route description

SR 353 begins at an intersection with US 62, immediately north of US 68, in the unincorporated community of Redoak. The highway heads northeast, as a two-lane highway, passing through farmland. The road curves towards the east, after having an intersection with Township Road 227 (T–227). The route crosses over the West Fork of the Eagle Creek, before having an intersection with T–221 (West Fork Road). After T–221, SR 353 curves to the northeast, paralleling the creek. The highway makes a sharp turn towards the east, leaving the creek, and passing through woodland. The road has an intersection with SR 763, before meeting its eastern terminus at SR 125. This state highway runs entirely within the eastern part of Brown County. It is not included as a portion of the National Highway System.
