The highway connects mostly rural areas of Floyd and Johnson counties with Watergap and Hager Hill.

It enters Bull Creek, where it crosses over some railroad tracks and travels over Levisa Fork.

On the north side of the bridge, it enters Lancer, where it begins to parallel Brandy Keg Creek and intersects KY 1428 (Lake Drive).

The highway then enters the Jenny Wiley State Resort Park and curves to the north-northwest and begins paralleling Dewey Lake.

It crosses over Stratton Branch just before intersecting the eastern terminus of KY 3024 (Maggie Mountain Road).

It intersects KY 1107 just before it crosses Levisa Fork a second time on the William Barker Memorial Bridge.

Then, the highway curves to the west-northwest, crosses over some railroad tracks and then Burnt Cabin Branch, and meets its northern terminus, an intersection with KY 1428 in Hager Hill.
