K-244 begins at Milford Lake Road northwest of Junction City. It heads to the east east near the southern shore of Milford Lake. Near the end, K-244 Spur connects to northbound K-57. K-244 ends as it merges into southbound K-57 near an intersection with US-77.[3]

K-244 was created by a resolution adopted by the State Highway Commission of Kansas on June 12, 1964. It was created as the most direct route between the existing state highway system and Milford Lake.[2] It was shortened to its present course three years later when K-57 and K-244 Spur were designated.[4]

The entire route is in Smoky Hill Township, Geary County.
