Mississippi Highway 304 consists of two routes in northwest Mississippi:
- A freeway-grade route coinciding with most of SIU 10 of Interstate 69, beginning at U.S. Route 61 just north of the Tunica/DeSoto County line, then running east to I-55 in northern Hernando, entirely in DeSoto County.
- A scenic route, which begins at Interstate 55 in Coldwater, runs west then north to Arkabutla Lake and Eudora, then east along the former MS 304 route to I-55 in Hernando.
MS 304 formerly ran on a two-lane alignment south of the present routing from U.S. 61 in Tunica Resorts (Tunica County) east to Interstate 55 in Hernando. The western portion of the former route is now officially part of MS 713; the remainder of the route (except the portion that is part of the scenic route noted above) no longer has an official state designation, but a number of state highway markers still appear along the route and at intersections.

““Where is the Mississippi panorama
And the girl who played the piano?
Where are you, Walt?
The Open Road goes to the used-car lot.”

“My manner is the footnote to your immoral
Beauty, that leads me with a magic hair
Up the spun highway of a vanishing hill
To Words....”
