The route starts as a two-lane highway at the eastern end of [[U.S. Route 98 in Florida|US 98's]] bridge over the [[Apalachicola River]] near the [[John Gorrie Memorial Bridge|John Gorrie Bridge]] in [[Apalachicola, Florida]], and is concurrent with US 98 from its starting point.  After crossing the East Bay portion of [[Apalachicola Bay]] via the John Gorrie Bridge, US 319 runs along the [[Gulf of Mexico|Gulf]] coast of [[Florida|Florida's]] [[Florida Panhandle|Panhandle]] to [[Carrabelle, Florida|Carabelle]] in [[Franklin County, Florida|Franklin County]], and departs the coast, and its concurrency with US 98, about halfway between Carrabelle and [[Bald Point State Park]], in a north direction through [[Sopchoppy, Florida|Sopchoppy]] in [[Wakulla County, Florida|Wakulla County]].

In Sopchoppy, the route angles east, briefly meets up with US 98 once more, before parting ways again and running north through [[Crawfordville, Florida|Crawfordville]], where it receives the [[FDOT]] maintenance designation of State Road 369, into [[Tallahassee, Florida|Tallahassee]] in [[Leon County, Florida|Leon County]].  US 319 meets [[Florida State Road 61|SR 61]] just south of Tallahassee, marking the northern end of SR 369, where it becomes a 4-lane [[divided highway]], which turns into 6 lanes as the route meets [[Florida State Road 263|SR 263]] and forms part of the southern and eastern portion of the [[Capital Circle (Tallahassee, Florida)|Capital Circle]] around Tallahassee. US 319 has the unsigned SR 261 designation between [[State Road 363 (Florida)|State Road 363]]/Woodville Highway and Capital Circle's eastern terminus at [[State Road 61 (Florida)|State Road 61]]/Thomasville Road. US 319/SR 61 has a complex interchange with [[Interstate 10 in Florida|I-10]] at exit 203 before heading northeast out of the Tallahassee area.  US 319 again becomes a 4-lane [[divided highway]] at its intersection with County Road 0342 about {{convert|9|mi}} from I-10, and runs to the state line with [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]].

US 319 And US 129 head into [[Ben Hill County, Georgia|Ben Hill County]] and through [[Fitzgerald, Georgia|Fitzgerald]], where it splits from US 129 and first heads east, and then north through the northwestern corner of [[Coffee County, Georgia|Coffee County]], where it meets up and is co-signed with [[U.S. Route 441|US 441]], and crosses the [[Ocmulgee River]] into [[Telfair County, Georgia]] at [[Jacksonville, Georgia]] and on into  [[McRae-Helena, Georgia|McRae-Helena]].  After briefly traversing the western corner of [[Wheeler County, Georgia|Wheeler County]] and eastern corner of [[Dodge County, Georgia|Dodge County]], US 319 continues north through [[Laurens County, Georgia|Laurens County]], crossing [[Interstate 16|I-16]] just before heading into and through [[Dublin, Georgia|Dublin]] and [[East Dublin, Georgia|East Dublin]], where US 441 splits off.

Continuing northeast, the route heads into [[Johnson County, Georgia|Johnson County]], runs through [[Wrightsville, Georgia|Wrightsville]], and heads into southern [[Jefferson County, Georgia|Jefferson County]], where it turns east in [[Bartow, Georgia|Bartow]], before meeting its northern terminus at [[U.S. Route 1 in Georgia|US 1]] and [[Georgia State Route 4|SR 4]] in [[Wadley, Georgia|Wadley]].
