MS 346 begins at the beginning of state maintenance just before Sand Springs Church, with the road continuing west as Hurricane Road to MS 336.

The highway continues east to cross Cane Creek before paralleling the southern banks of the Little Tallahatchie River as it travels through farmland for the next several miles. MS 346 enters the town of Ecru city limits, immediately passing by the Ashley Furniture plant before coming to an end at an intersection with MS 15, just across the river from downtown.
