KY 307 begins at the Tennessee state line, at an intersection with KY 129 (State Line Highway) on the South Fulton, Tennessee–Fulton, Kentucky line, within Fulton County, where the roadway continues as Tennessee State Route 43 (Broadway). It travels to the north and curves to the northwest. Immediately, it intersects the eastern terminus of KY 116 (Lake Street). KY 307 turns right onto Lake Street, and travels to the northeast.

It curves to the north and has a very brief concurrency with U.S. Route 45 (US 45; Mayfield Road). After they split, KY 307 heads to the north-northeast, traveling along the northeastern edge of Fulton, curves to the north, and has an interchange with the Purchase Parkway [future Interstate 69 (I-69)].
