Shortly afterward, the highway crosses the Middle Fork of the Forked Deer River into Gibson County.[2] SR 188 then passes through Eaton, which has an intersection with SR 104. It continues north to cross the North Fork of the Forked Deer River and pass through rural areas before entering Yorkville, where SR 188 comes to an end at an intersection with SR 77.[3] The entire route of SR 188 is a two-lane highway.[4]
