OH 698 begins in a fairly rural setting at OH 103 in Van Buren Township.

Heading north out of Jenera, OH 698 enters into a rural area primarily consisting of farmland, with an occasional house popping up along the way.

OH 698 passes by Hancock County Road 24, and enters into Eagle Township.

OH 698 comes to an end as it arrives at County Road 313, which at one time was the routing of US 25.

In 2007, however, in conjunction with the opening of the new four-lane expressway alignment of US 30 through Hancock and Wyandot Counties, the southern end of OH 698 was truncated to its intersection with OH 103 just south of Jenera.
