Route description Putnam and Fentress counties SR 62 begins in Putnam County in downtown Monterey as a primary highway at an intersection with SR 84 and SR 164. It then heads east (as East Commercial Avenue) through downtown before leaving Monterey (as Clarkrange Highway) as a two-lane highway to parallel I-40 for a short distance before going through forested areas and the community of Muddy Pond before crossing into Fentress County. SR 62 immediately enters farmland and goes down a fertile valley to enter Clarkrange and junction with US 127/SR 28. The highway now leaves Clarkrange (as Deer Lodge Highway) and continues east through farmland and crosses into Morgan County.

It passes through Chestnut Ridge before it intersects the southern end of SR 329 south of Deer Lodge and continues east to intersect with SR 298. SR 62 continues eastward and goes through Lancing and becomes even curvier, before coming to an intersection with US 27/SR 29 (Morgan County Highway) north of Wartburg.

They then pass just east of downtown before SR 62 separates from US 27/SR 29 and continues southeast (as Knoxville Highway) as a four-lane and then exits Wartburg. SR 62 continues southeast and narrows to a two-lane before entering Joyner. The highway continues through Joyner, which is mainly farmland, and then junctions with SR 116 west of Petros before entering Stephens. It goes through Stephens and then goes through a short mountain pass (locally known as Stephens Mountain) before passing through Coalfield to enter Oliver Springs and crosses into Roane County.
