The first and longest section begins at AR 22 in Subiaco. The route heads towards the north, before taking a sharp turn towards the east near Wilkins, right at the intersection of AR 393. The route heads more in a northeasterly direction for about 6.5 miles (10.5 km) before entering the town of Scranton, and intersecting AR 109. The route continues east for about 7 miles (11 km) before reaching its northern terminus near Lake Dardanelle. The route is about 17.33 miles (27.89 km) long. [2] [3]
