Route description

edit

SH-80 begins at US-62/SH-10 just south of Fort Gibson.[2] After heading through Fort Gibson, it enters Cherokee County. It roughly parallels the Cherokee/Wagoner County line before meeting the east end of State Highway 251A. It then heads east before curving back north and zig-zagging to its northern end with SH-51.[1]

The route is known for its winding curves as it traverses the eastern shores of Fort Gibson Lake and is popular among motorcyclists.[3][4]
