'''State Route 726''' ('''SR 726''') is a north&ndash;south [[state highway]] in western [[Ohio]], a [[U.S. state]]. The southern terminus of the state route is at a T-intersection with [[U.S. Route 127 in Ohio|US 127]] about {{convert|1|mi|km}} north of the [[city limits]] of [[Eaton, Ohio|Eaton]]. The northern terminus of SR 726 is at a signalized intersection with [[Ohio State Route 121|SR 121]] in downtown [[New Madison, Ohio|New Madison]].
'''Ohio State Route 726''' is a state route in western [[Ohio]]. It connects the village of [[New Madison]] indirectly with the city of [[Eaton]]. It also only runs through two villages, New Madison and Eldorado. State Route 726 starts in New Madison, at its northern terminus in the middle of town at State Route 121. South of New Madison, Route 726 is a very curvy, winding road, all the way to the Preble–Darke County line. Eldorado is just south of the county line, a small farming community that hails its Zucchini Festival every year. South of Eldorado, 726 crosses [[U.S. Route 40]], roughly between [[Richmond, Indiana]] and Lewisburg, Ohio. State Route 726 also crosses [[Interstate 70]], but there is no direct connection to it from the highway. About {{convert|7|mi|km}} south of U.S. Route 40 is the southern terminus of State Route 726, at U.S. 127 about {{convert|2|mi|km}} north of Eaton.
