Known as Bedford Road, the state highway runs 3.52 miles (5.66 km) from the city limits of Cumberland north to U.S. Route 220 (US 220) in Dickens.

MD 807 was extended to its present northern terminus when the US 220 Bedford Road bypass opened in 2000.

MD 807 continues north as a two-lane undivided road past residences between two mountain ridges.

The state highway intersects an old alignment of Bedford Road (unsigned MD 807B) before meeting its northern terminus at US 220 in the community of Dickens.

Smouses Mill Road (unsigned MD 807E) continues on the eastern side of the intersection.
