The southern terminus of SR 229 is at U.S. Route 421 (US 421), in the town of Napoleon in central Ripley County. The route heads east-southeast, until an intersection with the western terminus of the eastern section of SR 48. At the intersection with SR 48, SR 229 turns north-northeast. The highway heads towards Batesville as a rural curvy two-lane highway, passing through a mix of farmland and woodland. The highway enter Batesville and has an intersection at SR 46.
