Written Directions

Start just south of Warren Pennsylvania in the burrow of E. Hickory PA. From E. Hickory, head east on Route 666 all the way through Kingsley, Howe, and end at Barnes Pennsylvania & the junction of PA Route.666 and PA Route 948..

Scenery

Nice! In the heart of the Allegheny Nation Forest. Lush forest around every banked turn. There's a couple cool rock formations, creek beds and small bridges. Looks best in summer and fall.



Photo contributed in Jan 10: "This picture was taken about the halfway point of Rt666."

Drive Enjoyment

This road's topography makes it a great ride. Every bit of it's 30 miles are covered with banked turns and abrupt, small elevation changes. There's even the "cork screw" downhill turn section about halfway through. The trees whizzing past on either side are pretty cool too... Years of neglect have taken a toll on Route 666. I have to give it 4 stars for increasingly poor road conditions. Still a must ride!

Tourism Opportunities

What would you expect? You're in the middle of a national forest! No gas, no bathrooms, no need. Just fill up in Warren and Tionesta! If you're up to it, there's a tent camping area called Minister Creek about 9 miles in. From here you can hike miles into the woods and camp or stay with your bike and build a fire. Although not on this route, I do suggest you be sure to check out the Kinzua Dam and Pithole "ghost" city while you are in the area.

Just got back from a Labor Day trip to Oil City, a bit farther south on Rte.62 than Rte.666... A group of four of us did 666 yeaterday, on a beautiful sunny day. There has been a lot of work done on 666, and as of now (Labor Day, 2009) it's in fine shape. My wife rides a Suzuki Burgman 400 scooter, and she had a blast - embarassing all us guys riding the pipe-dragging cruisers down the road. Going back to the area next summer!

liked the,scenery alot, nice ride for country road. Road follow a creek which makes for nice twisties. Like every one else is saying pot holes abound. first 3 miles on east side of 666 the worst then pavement got better. also recommend adding Kinzua to to Allegany State part to the route.

A fairly decent road that was in some disrepair the time I was on it. From what I understand they're not overly keen on repairing this road as needed, so the 'meh' surface is probably going to turn to 'garbage' before they do anything about it. If the surface was all fresh black top? Yea, it would be a pretty fun road through the forest. Lots of trees, probably lots of nice colors come autumn, throw in some twisties and you have a great ride, if the road allows.
