M-36 starts at an interchange with US 127. M-36 follows Cedar Street southeast to Ash Street in Mason. Outside of Mason, Ash Street becomes Dansville Road, passing through Dansville where it is called Mason Street. Just south of White Oak Township Park in White Oak Township, M-36 turns south along M-52 through Millville. At Topping Road, M-36 turns east again north of Lowe Lake. Crossing into Livingston County where it becomes Plainfield Road, it then passes the Plainfield Cemetery and turns south to Gregory. As Main Street in Gregory, M-36 turns back east skirting the northern edge of Pinckney State Recreation Area and the south edge of the Timber Trace Golf Club. As Main Street in Pinckney, M-36 passes through the center of town. East of Pinckney, M-36 passes between Rush Lake and Bass Lake in the Pettysville area. M-36 ends as 9 Mile Road at exit 54 on US 23 in Whitmore Lake. This section of 9 Mile Road is one mile (1.6 km) north of the westernmost section of 8 Mile Road.
In 1920, M-36 was routed along what is now M-24 between Pontiac and Burnside. This routing was truncated in 1928 to run between Lapeer and Imlay City. The rest became M-24.
M-36 was designated along the current routing in 1930 over a former M-49 designation. Portions of M-49 not used in the new M-36 were given to M-92 or M-106. M-36 was extended westerly in 1946 over a former portion of US 127 to the new bypass around Mason. This former segment of US 127 was designated as BUS US 127/M-36 until the BUS US 127 designation was removed 1962. M-36 was realigned in the Pettysville area of Livingston County on September 29, 1967. The M-52 concurrency was formed in 1969 when M-52 was extended northerly to Webberville.
