Route description

The route is located in Tate and DeSoto counties.[2][3] In Tate County, the route starts at Arkabutla Road near Arkabutla, and it travels northward. It is concurrent with MS 304 Scenic inside Tate County. The road travels through a forested area, and it begins to shift westward near Arkabutla Cove. MS 301 travels parallel to the Arkabutla Lake coastline, and it turns northeastwards at Bend Road. The route reaches the southern side of the Arkabutla Dam near Arkabutla Dam Road. The route ends at the county line, and the road crosses the Coldwater River soon afterwards.[2]

In DeSoto County, the route starts at the northern part of the dam, and it travels westward away from the dam. MS 301 then crosses Cub Lake Bayou and turns north at Pratt Road. In Eudora, the road intersects the former alignment of MS 304. The concurrency with MS 304 ends as it travels eastward at the intersection. North of Green River Road, the route meets current MS 304 and Interstate 69 (I-69) at a diamond interchange. Past the interchange, MS 301 turns northeastward east of Wilson Mill Road. The road turns north at Mabry Road, and it passes through West Days at Days Road. The route intersects MS 302 in Lynchburg and continues northwards to the state line. MS 301 ends at the state line, and Tennessee State Route 175 (SR 175) continues past that point.[3]
