SR 361 begins as Laurels Road in southern Pine Crest at an intersection with SR 359.

The highway then becomes Dry Creek Road and goes east along a narrow valley to have an intersection with SR 362. SR 361 then becomes Gap Creek Road and continues east through rural areas to enter Hampton and crosses a bridge over the Little Doe River. The highway then comes to an end at an intersection with US 19E/SR 37 south of downtown. The entire route of SR 361 is a two-lane highway.[2][3]
