State Route 285 (SR-285) is a state highway in White and Van Buren counties in Middle Tennessee and Bledsoe County in East Tennessee.

Route description

SR 285 begins at an intersection with U.S. Route 70S in Doyle in White County. It initially runs in a southeastwardly direction, briefly merging with Tennessee State Route 111 before splitting off and winding its way up the Cane Creek Valley. At the outer edges of Fall Creek Falls State Park, SR 285 joins Tennessee State Route 30, which approaches from Spencer to the west. The merged highway then ascends more than 800 feet (240 m) to the top of the Cumberland Plateau before diverging again, with SR 30 continuing eastward, and SR 285 turning northward through a rural stretch of the Plateau region. Bending southeastward again, SR 285 crosses Bee Creek and passes Bledsoe State Forest before terminating at its intersection with Tennessee State Route 101 north of Mount Crest.^[1]
