KY 191 begins at an intersection with KY 15 in Campton, within Wolfe County. It travels to the northeast and immediately curves to the east-northeast before it intersects the western terminus of KY 2490 (Drake Street).[4] It curves to the north and intersects the eastern terminus of KY 1653 (Johnson Street) on a curve back to the east-northeast. It crosses Swift Camp Creek. Immediately after this is an intersection with KY 2491 (Washington Street).[4] One block later, it has a second intersection with KY 2490 (Marion Street).[4] As soon as KY 191 leaves the city limits, it curves to the northeast. It curves to the east-southeast and intersects the southern terminus of KY 746 (Callaboose Ridge Road). Then, it starts paralleling the Bert T. Combs Mountain Parkway. It curves to the northeast and has a partial interchange with the parkway. The highway begins curving to the southeast and crosses over Stillwater Creek. Then, after it begins curving to the north-northeast, it intersects the northern terminus of KY 1812. In Trent, it intersects the southern terminus of KY 3356 (Trent–Gosneyville Road). KY 191 curves to a more easterly direction and then curves back to the north-northeast and crosses over Lacy Creek. It intersects KY 1010 (Lacy Creek Road). The two highways begin a concurrency. They cross over the Red River on the Hazel Green Academy Mountaineer Bridge and enter Hazel Green. At Broadway Street, KY 1010 turns off, while KY 191 continues to the north-northeast.
