Route description[]

SR 362 begins in a narrow valley at an intersection with SR 361 just east of the of the Cherokee National Forest. It goes north as Gap Creek Road to pass between two mountains, and a section of the Cherokee National Forest, to an intersection with Mary Patton Highway, where it splits off of Gap Creek Road and merges with Mary Patton Highway. The highway continues north through a mix of farmland and hilly terrain. The highway then meets back up with Gap Creek Road as it enters Elizabethton and has an intersection with W G Street. SR 362 then comes to an end at an intersection with US 321/SR 67/SR 91 (W Elk Avenue), just west of downtown along the banks of the Watauga River. Except within Elizabethton near its north end, the entire route of SR 362 is two-lane highway.^[1][2]
