Route description

State maintenance and the SH 172 designation begin along the shore of Keller Bay in the Calhoun County community of Olivia.[2] The route travels northward along the peninsula and into Jackson County, where it intersects SH 35 in the hamlet of Weedhaven. SH 172 continues to the north and has a brief concurrency FM 616 in La Ward before turning slightly to the northwest.[3] It has a junction with SH 111 before entering Ganado along 3rd Street.
