The route heads southeast to an intersection with US 129/SR 11 (Limestone Parkway NE) just before leaving the city.

A short distance northeast of Gainesville, the road crosses the Chattahoochee River arm of Lake Lanier.

There, it curves to the northwest to an intersection with SR 52 (Lula Road) south of Clermont.

Just east of Walker Mountain Lake is a very short section of the road that straddles the Hall-White County line.

Shortly after entering White County, the route meets its northern terminus, an intersection with SR 115.
