ND 5 begins at the Montana state line near Westby, Montana, and goes east for 12 miles. Then it merges with US 85 and passes through Fortuna. Seven miles east of Fortuna, US 85 splits off southward, and ND 5 continues alone for six miles before merging with ND 42. After eight miles, ND 42 also branches off to the south, and ND 5 goes around the southwestern side of Crosby. ND 5 continues east for 13 miles, then overlaps with ND 40 for 10 miles before continuing east alone outside Columbus. At Seven Mile Corner, ND 5 merges with US 52, and they go east-southeast toward Minot. Near Bowbells, they briefly merge with ND 8 before ND 8 heads southwest into the city. About ten miles later, US 52 continues south into Minot, and ND 5 heads east again.

ND 5 and ND 28 run concurrently near Mohall, entering the city 5 miles later. ND 5 then intersects with US 83 and ND 256 after another 9 miles. US 83 and ND 5 run concurrently for 16 miles before US 83 heads north towards Westhope and the Canadian border. Further east, ND 5 runs concurrently with ND 14 for 8 miles before ND 14 turns north and ND 5 continues towards Bottineau. ND 5 intersects with the northern terminus of ND 60, 5 miles outside of Bottineau. ND 5 continues east for 12 miles into Dunseith, where it joins US 281 and intersects ND 3. The two highways run concurrently for approximately 40 miles, passing through Belcourt, intersecting ND 30 in Rolla, and intersecting ND 4. Near Rocklake, ND 5 splits from US 281, skirting the north side of the city.

14 miles to the east, ND 5 enters a concurrency with ND 20 for six miles and then continues east for twenty miles before entering the city of Langdon and intersecting ND 1. About another twenty miles to the east, ND 5 carries ND 32 for 3 miles, and then east-northeast into the city of Cavalier and joining ND 18 for a concurrency that lasts four miles. Five miles to the east, ND 5 carries US 81 all the way to I-29 (ten miles) and finally leaves North Dakota alone from any concurrency three miles later before crossing the Red River of the North and into the state of Minnesota as Minnesota State Highway 175.
