State Route 85 (also called Georgia 85 or Highway 85) is a Georgia state route that begins in Columbus and ends just west of Forest Park in north Clayton County. Besides Columbus, the route passes through only one county seat, Fayetteville in Fayette County. Georgia 85 is sometimes confused with Interstate 85, which parallels it about twenty miles (32 km) to the west and also extends southwest from the Atlanta area.
