Lakeshore Drive begins at SR 92 in the small community of Cherokee and goes east-northeast following closely to Cherokee Lake to Bean Station. The highway winds and cuts through rural unincorporated Grainger County.[3] Farms, marinas, and lakefront housing developments scattered along the route.[3] It curves its way along the shores of lake before crossing an arm of the lake via the German Creek Bridge,[4] and leaves the shoreline of Cherokee Lake before ending at the intersection of US 25E-SR 32 in Bean Station.[1]
