Route description
editSR 200 is signed from Hernando through Apache Shores and Stokes Ferry in Citrus County, passing a narrow bridge over the Withlacoochee River. Entering Marion County, it passes by the Ross Prairie State Forest and continues through Marion Oaks where it changes from a two-lane road to a six-lane divided boulevard and continues with this width as it runs towards the City of Ocala. Within Ocala it serves as the first interchange in the city for Interstate 75 at exit 350 and later becomes an unsigned route for US 301 north to Callahan. Then it is signed again from Callahan where it's also signed concurrently with SR A1A. The segment that is overlapped with SR A1A runs along the northern edge of the Four Creeks State Forest, through Italia, and later passes under Interstate 95 at Exit 373. From there it passes through Yulee where it crosses the CSX Kingsland Subdivision and then US 17. East of there it passes through the wetlands of Lofton Creek, and then turns southeast heading through O'Neil. The routes curve back to the northeast climbing the Thomas J. Shave Jr. Bridge over the Amelia River and finally enters Fernandina Beach, where it makes a sharp curve to the north before turning to the right on Atlantic Avenue, and finally terminates at South Fletcher Avenue.

State Road 200A (SR 200A) in Ocala and northern Marion County is now County Road 200A. It was also former U.S. Route 301 Alternate. The first segment is named 20th Street and begins at US 301 in Ocala north of a railroad bridge. Upon reaching Northeast Eighth Road, former SR 200 becomes Jacksonville Road, a street name it carries until it terminates with US 301 in Citra. Other County Road 200A's can be found in Alachua, Bradford, and Nassau Counties.

| Location | Island Grove-Hawthorne |
County Road 200A exists in two segments in Alachua County; One in Island Grove, and the other in Hawthorne. The road is also a former segment of US 301, and is even signed as "Old US 301" in Hawthorne.[3]
The Island Grove CR 200A begins at US 301 across from the southeastern terminus of Alachua CR 325. The route passes by a wye intersection with Southeast 201st Terrace, which has historically been an old segment of US 301/SR 200.[4] The route crosses the CSX Wildwood Subdivision, then turns north onto 203rd Street. From there the route remains along the east side of the tracks until it terminates at the foot of the US 301 bridges crossing over the tracks.
In the Hawthorne area CR 200A begins at US 301 to the left, following the CSX line while mainline US 301 moves away from the tracks. Past a firehouse, the route crosses the CSX Edgar Spur, and then the Wildwood Subdivision. North of the tracks, the road runs straight north and south and crosses CR 2082 at the vicinity of the former city hall. North of 65th Avenue, the road turns to the northwest and ends at the left side of the SPUI-interchange of FL 20 and US 301.
