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.
