It curves to the northwest and heads to the north-northeast. The highway has a brief foray into Dade County, before re-entering Walker County. Continuing on its north-northeast trek, it intersects SR 136, southeast of Cloudland Canyon State Park.

It curves to the northeast until it meets its northern terminus, Tennessee State Route 58, at the Tennessee state line. SR 157 is not part of the National Highway System.
