One segment of 20.45 miles (32.91 km) runs from the Oklahoma state line east to U.S. Route 71 (US 71) north of Waldron.

All four highways are rural, two-lane roads with relatively low traffic serving a sparsely populated and forested part of Arkansas.

[5] Entering in the southwestern part of Yell County, the route continues east through Gravelly and another crossing of the Fourche La Fave River before an intersection with Highway 307 at Bluffton.

The route begins skirting the edge of the Ouachita National Forest, passing through Wing to Highway 27 at Rover, where it terminates.

[7] The route turns northward at this junction, leaving Plainview and passing through a rural area before entering the small city of Ola.

The two-lane road runs northeast through the unincorporated community of Pigsah and rural areas to Dardanelle, the Yell County seat.
