CR 512 begins at an intersection with CR 513 in Califon, Hunterdon County, heading southeast on two-lane undivided Main Street past homes. Following the crossing the South Branch Raritan River, the route turns south onto Academy Street and makes a turn east into wooded areas. After intersecting Main Street again, the road becomes Fairmount Road West and heads into Tewksbury Township, where it passes through a mix of farms, woods, and homes. Upon crossing CR 517, CR 512 becomes Fairmount Road East and continues through more rural areas, reaching the residential community of Pottersville.

After crossing the Lamington River, CR 512 enters Bedminster Township in Somerset County and becomes Pottersville Road, heading out of Pottersville and back into areas of farms and woods with a few residences. The road enters Peapack-Gladstone and immediately crosses US 206 in woodland before entering residential areas. CR 512 intersects CR 671 and turns south onto Main Street, passing the Gladstone Station, which serves as the western terminus of New Jersey Transit's Gladstone Branch. The road runs to the east of the railroad tracks before turning east and then south at a junction with CR 647. The route continues through a mix of homes and businesses, intersecting CR 661. CR 512 enters a mix of fields and residences before turning southeast and crossing over the Gladstone Branch and heading back into Bedminster Township, at which point it begins running to the west of the North Branch Raritan River through woodland. The route crosses the river into Far Hills and becomes Peapack Drive as it continues through wooded residential areas a short distance to the west of the Gladstone Branch.
