The route passes a suburban development before serving the northern terminus for Arkansas Highway 265 (Old Wire Road).

AR 264 runs due east past farmland before beginning to wind through wooded country.

The road passes Hickory Creek Park and lakefront houses (belonging to communities Highland Estates and Creech) until terminating at the waters of Beaver Lake.

The route runs north as Lincoln St in the city, giving direct access to US 412 for many residences and small businesses.

[4] In 1963, the route became a loop from Springdale, east to Beaver Lake, turning west and ending at Lowell.

Between 1970 and 1975, however, Beaver Lake expanded and washed out half of the loop, leaving the modern discontinuous segments.
