The highway's western terminus is at SR 269 approximately four and a half miles (7.2 km) south of Bellevue.

Located in western Huron County, State Route 547 traverses primarily rural terrain excepting the easternmost stretch of the highway through Monroeville.

The vast majority of SR 547's path is in rural farm country, passing a house here and there along the way.

At that point, the highway picks up the name Monroe Street, and passes into a backdrop that is primarily residential.

After crossing the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway tracks, the highway arrives at its junction with SR 99, a four-way stop intersection.
