The highway extends from its southern terminus at SR 53 west of Dawsonville to its northern terminus at SR 52 south of Amicalola Falls State Park.

The route, which is known as Elliott Family Parkway for its entirety, initially runs north, then curves northwest where it intersects Keith Evans Road, which continues straight north, and which used to be signed as SR 342, before this state route designation was decommissioned.

The route reaches its northern terminus as it meets SR 52, where that route dips south and then north again, and forms the southern border of Amicalola Falls State Park.

This state park also forms the southernmost section of the Blue Ridge Wildlife Management Area, a southern province of the Appalachian Mountains range.

[3] The Georgia Department of Transportation average annual daily traffic (AADT) numbers for the year 2011 show an average daily traffic load of just over 1,900 vehicles between the route's southern terminus and Keith Evans Road, decreasing to just over 1,200 vehicles as the route approaches it intersection with SR 136.
