It follows along the northern bank of the river as it winds its way northeast for a few miles, where it makes a sharp left turn, before crossing into Marshall County.

It enters town along South Center Street, passing through neighborhoods before crossing railroad tracks into downtown, first intersecting Front Avenue (which carries unsigned MS 701), coming to an end shortly thereafter at an intersection MS 178 (Church Avenue) at the center of town.

The road winds its way across a wooded ridge for the next mile before lowering down into valley and passing through farmland.

MS 347 now takes a left onto Barber Road to pass through a small portion of Holly Springs National Forest before coming to an end at another intersection with MS 349, just two miles (3.2 km) south of the town of Potts Camp.
