SR 369 begins at an intersection with SR 20 (Canton Highway) near the community of Macedonia in eastern Cherokee County, and travels in a loop to the east, through unincorporated and generally rural (though becoming somewhat exurban) areas of Cherokee and Forsyth counties.

East of US 19/SR 400, now locally known as Browns Bridge Road, SR 369 crosses the northern branches of Lake Lanier in Forsyth County, before crossing the main channel (originally the Chattahoochee River) of the lake via Browns Bridge into Hall County.

[4] The Georgia Department of Transportation average annual daily traffic (AADT) numbers for the year 2011 show an average of about 5,600 vehicles per day between the route's western terminus and Old Federal Road in Forsyth County, with the exception of an average vehicle load of 9,960 on a short stretch of the route around Yellow Creek Road, which is a south-to-north feeder route to the Big Canoe residential development in Pickens County.

[5] By early in 1944, the Hall County portion of the road had been improved to feature hard surface.

This routing appears to correspond to portions of today's Hurt Bridge Road from SR 20 north to Holbrook Road, and a portion of roadway curving northeast to just west of Matt, which does not appear to exist today.
