U.S. Route 158 is a spur of U.S. Route 58, although it never intersects its parent route. It currently runs for 347 miles (558 km) from Nags Head, North Carolina to Mocksville, North Carolina at U.S. Route 64 and U.S. Route 601. A ten-mile stretch skirts the Great Dismal Swamp. It is entirely within the state of North Carolina.

In Dare County, the highway runs in a north-south direction, although it is signed west-east. It acts as a bypass route for the Virginia Dare Trail (N.C. 12), which runs parallel to U.S. 158 to the east.
