A number of segments for County Road 2 are designated throughout Northwest Florida. The westernmost extent travels 9.43 miles through Okaloosa County, between SR 189 at Blackman and SR 85 southwest of Laurel Hill. The second portion of CR 2 extends 13.20 miles southeast from Laurel Hill along a combination of 4th Street, Chicago Avenue and Steel Mill Creek Road into Walton County to Gordon and U.S. 301.
An implied overlap takes County Road 2 alongside U.S. 331 to a point east of New Harmony. CR 2 resumes northeast 19.43 miles to Caney Creek, Darlington and SR 81 at Royals Crossroads. 3.7 miles south of that end is the beginning of State Road 2, which traverses areas just south of the Alabama state line eastward to the Chattahoochee River into southwest Georgia.
Bridging the gap between segments of Georgia State Route 94 through Osceola National Forest, a second branch of State Road 2 runs through northern Columbia and Baker Counties. SR 94 crosses the southern notch of Charlton County, Georgia between the SR 2 end at Baxter and Saint George. Entering Florida again, SR 94 transitions onto the easternmost portion of County Road 2. Nassau County Road 2 travels just 1.38 miles between the east end of SR 94 and CR 121 near Kent.
