It is 6.99 miles (11.25 km) long and runs north–south, entirely within Stafford.

It heads northward, meeting Route 319 after about 2.1 miles (3.4 km) in the village of Stafford Hollow.

One place where the alignment of modern Route 32 differed was in the town of Stafford.

The newly established Route 32 used the alignment of old State Highway 334, which ran through the village of Orcuttsville towards Monson, Massachusetts.

The number change was done in cooperation with Massachusetts, which also renumbered the continuation as Route 19.
