Georgia State Route 251 is a rural highway connecting the McIntosh County seat of Darien with the unincorporated community of Townsend. Measuring 13.48 miles in length, SR 251 branches west from U.S. 17/SR 25 in Darien to Interstate 95 at Exit 49. SR 251 turns north away from Cathead Creek at Cox Road. Following Briardam Road, SR 251 concludes at SR 57.

Business Loop I-95 also accompanied the state route south from Exit 49 to U.S. 17/SR 25 in Darien. The business route is still acknowledged on guide signs posted along Interstate 95.
