Route description

State Route 52 serves as a parallel route of U.S. Highway 84. Beginning at Opp, State Route 52 assumes a southeastward trajectory as it leads towards Samson in western Geneva County. At Samson, the route briefly turns to the east before resuming its southeastward trajectory as it approaches the town of Geneva.

East of Geneva, State Route 52 assumes a slight northeastward trajectory. It passes through Hartford, the birthplace of Baseball Hall of Fame member Early Wynn, then continues through Slocomb as it leads towards Dothan, the largest city of Alabama’s Wiregrass Region.

State Route 52 has junctions with three U.S. Highways at Dothan. On the city’s west side, the route meets U.S. Highway 231. On the east side of Dothan, State Route 52 junctions U.S. Highways 84 and 431. All three U.S. Highways are aligned along Ross Clark Circle, a circumferential bypass of Dothan. As State Route 52 leads eastward out of Dothan, it passes through rural areas of Houston County as it leads towards Columbia and the Georgia state line.
