Route description edit
The route begins at an intersection with SR 78 on the southeast corner of Caldwell. It immediately crosses Salt Run before curving to climb a small hill. After two switchback turns, SR 564 reaches the top of the hill and begins to slowly descend in elevation. Soon, the route follows a valley created by the Middle Fork Duck Creek and remains in this valley and occasionally crossing over the aforementioned stream. Just before the main Duck Creek, the route ends at SR 145 just outside the community of Harriettsville. The entire route is two lanes wide and is located within very rural areas punctuated occasionally with small houses.[2]
