Motorcycle Roads in Pennsylvania
The keystone state offers motorcycle riders two federally designated US Scenic Byways, 15 state-designated Byways, and one National Forest Scenic Byway. Pennsylvania (PA) is home to a section of Lake Erie coastline, the incredible Pocono Mountains, rural villages, charming country towns, one of the most famous battlefields in the United States (Gettysburg), and two major cities - Philadelphia & Pittsburgh.
This is Chester County horse country and the scenery does not include mountain vistas but it is a beautiful rolling terrain. The crosses small streams and lush farmland.

The scenery was nice through the forest, not much in the way of hills, but the cut through the forest type road is always a favorite of mine.

Scenery is a solid 3. It's large hills and farmland abound until you delve down into the thick woods. The woods are a solid 5 in the autumn (as in the video provided) and then back out to the hills…

About a 3.5 I'd say. Some nice high up elevations with farmland and valleys on either side of you. It also drops down into the low lands and meanders with a creek for awhile. A good cruising road, in…

Rolling hills covered with forests, and often a stream or river beside the road on the northern half. A few old-school one-lane stone tunnels mixed in for good measure.

Just like it's sister road 221, 231 has your typical farmland with hills sights. Nothing boring, exactly, as some of the road has no guard rail and I pity the fool that end up over a big hill from…

Woods and farmland over often steeply rolling hillsides. Few straights, many sweepers and great views of the nearby Allegheny Mountains in many spots.

This route is an enjoyable mix between back roads and highway. Using only well marked state and us Routes makes this route easy to follow. Traffic flow is low on routs 30, 711 and 31 once you get…
