Route Description
SR 191 runs from I-40 (Exit 133) north to Nathan Bedford Forest State Park just north of Eva, Tennessee. This highway crosses US 70, US 70 Bus, and SR 69A. The section of road from I-40 to US 70 is also known as Birdsong Road. This highway passes through the small communities of Chalk Level, Eva, and the town of Camden.
