Written Directions

Easy to find and follow. Just start in Williamsport, PA. Just south of town you'll find PA Route 44. Get on this and take it northwest up to Coudersport, PA.

Scenery

70 plus miles of secluded state forest - a nature lovers dream!

Drive Enjoyment

The condition of the tarmac varies greatly. Some spots need work so that's why I've given this road a 4 instead of 5. However, throughout the 120 miles you will encounter many tight turns, elevation changes and a few sweepers.

What you wont have to deal with is stop signs, traffic lights ... there are NONE!!! or traffic - this is one of THE BEST!!!

Tourism Opportunities

The secluded nature of this road has its down side - you better gas-up before entering and you should pack a lunch if want to eat something along the way.

Sep 08 Update from Brad Morgan - I would recommend that anyone taking PA44 should also do a quick side trip to the Hyner View Lookout - its a launch point for hang gliders and a place that offers a spectacular view! Take PA1014 "Hyner Road" for approx 4 miles to the Hyner View State Park entrance - turn left and go approx 3 miles to the lookout. Hyner road and the road to the lookout are an experience in and of themselves - well worth the trip - you wont be disappointed ! Bring your camera (see pictures below).

The silly comment by Mr. Jack Hoff (?) is "'a waste of time"...
PA 44 is a great road - I've riden it several times and I agree with the description of the road noted above.

Took this trip starting at Allenwood off Rte. 15 in 2009 on a Honda Shadow. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and highly recommend it. Agree with the comments about gas and food although there are some spots, they are few and far between. Jack Hoff, what planet are you on? I went on up to Warren Co. and returned via Routes 6 and 287 then got back on 44 at Jersey Shore. Great trip and looking at doing it again this summer on the GW.

Took this road in June, 2014. The scenery is beautiful, but there are some blind turns that made me happy I had the GPS to see ahead and avoid over speeding into the corners. With a sport bike it would be fun and exciting, but with my beast it meant slowing down.

Be careful on the last few miles coming into Coudersport. The cops want to balance the budget. Got a ticket for 50 in a 45 zone.
