Route description
SR 153 begins at the Florida state line, where it is a continuation of SR 83.{{google maps |url=https://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=31.034991,-86.101913&spn=0.192392,0.321693&z=12 |title=SR-153 |accessdate=April 29, 2010}} It travels to the north-northeast and has an intersection with Geneva County Route 4 (CR 4; Fink Mill Road). The highway then curves to the northeast. After two crossings of Poplar Branch, it begins a concurrency with Geneva CR 10. After the highways split, SR 153 curves to a nearly due north direction and crosses over Flat Creek. The highway curves to the north-northwest and intersects the southern terminus of Geneva CR 17 (Columbus–Holley Road). It then passes Lime Springs Lake before traveling through Ganer. It curves to a nearly due north direction and meets its northern terminus, an intersection with SR 52 west of Samson. Here, the roadway continues as Geneva CR 5.
