Route description
KY 101 starts at a junction with KY 259 near the community of Rhoda in Edmonson County.
A little over four miles (6.4 km) from its beginning, KY 101 passes into Warren County. It runs concurrently with U.S. Route 31W (US 31W) for less than a mile before splitting on a southern course that takes it through the center of Smiths Grove. Just south of Smiths Grove, KY 101 intersects with Interstate 65 (I-65) at exit 38.
KY 101 then continues on for less than a mile before intersecting with the concurrent US 68/KY 80.
Shortly after passing through the Three Forks community, KY 101 passes into Allen County. The route intersects with US 31E, just north of Scottsville before reaching its terminus at KY 100 near downtown.
