In late May my son (age 21 and riding a '05 sportster) and I rode Rt. 6 from the New Jersey state line to Kane, PA. We then took Rt. 66 S through the Alleghany National Forrest. This was one of the most beautiful and nicest rides I've ever taken. Rt. 6 is like going back in time -- relaxing and enjoyable. I highly recommend this ride. We made it a 4 day, 3 night trip. From Kane we headed south to Horseshoe Curve in Altoona, then south to Rt. 30 which we took east back to Bucks County. We made it a point to stay off all major roads bigger then Rt. 6 & 30. Great trip!!

Each year I visit my home town of Elmira, NY. Last year I visited the Tunkhannock Viaduct just north of Scranton. I took Rt.6 from Scranton to Rt.15 and rode one of the most beautiful roads in PA. Be sure to pull over at the scenic overlook of the Susquehanna River. This summer I plan to ride the rest of Rt.6 and visit the Kinzua sky walk.

The original review of this road is outdated. Most of the town are flourishing now. Fracking has revived the area. The Railway bridge that was knocked down by a tornado is now a state park and a walkway. All the fracking also bring negative also, lots of truck traffic and hotels and motels are more expensive now. There is a bypass that goes around a small town, its like an interstate highway, avoid it and ride thru the charming little town

Great Route, and lots to see just off of Rt. 6 as well. Good way to get introduced is to check out the Tour Group from Wellsboro, PA... Canyon Vista McTours. They have a web site. Good tours, good food, good lodging, special attractions, and lots of colorful details about the area. Good value for the money.

Route 6 and some of the connecting routes are totally awesome! If you like a great road with very little traffic populated with 'mom/pop' motels and places to eat this is the place! Run this road on a regular basis and enjoy every foot of it!

Having retired and living in Tioga Co. I have a few fav. rides. Starting in Wellsboro, I take rt 287 south to rt 220. Hang a right a go to rt 44 north. Take 44 up to Coudersport and pick up rt 6 east back to Wellsboro. I always stop at the Ox Yoke Inn for some good food. Ken and Megan will treat you right.

I have taken Rt 6 as far as Wellsboro heading west from Millford, road quality was one of the best I have rode on in PA. If you hit Wellsboro take the time to stop and see the PA Grand Canyon,it's about 5 miles outside of town.The views are breath taking and the ride to the edge of the canyon rim is a lot of fun.

From Milford, PA to Wellsboro along Rt. 6...one of the finest motorcycle roads I have ever ridden [Scranton area not so spectacular, though]. Sweeping turns bordered by spectacular vistas of low mountains and river valleys, charming little towns, good roads. Chris's B-B-Que is a great place for vittles along the way.

In September (2010) I rode from Scranton to Coudersport and back on my 07 Shadow Sabre. The ride was great; one spectacular, picturesque view after the next. My only mistake was not having enough time to ride to the Pa - Ohio border. Next summer I am planning to do all of Rt 6. Ride safe Joe P

When going through Smethport try Myra's Restaurant. It's actually in East Smethport so just keep following RT 6 through town and its out by the Fairgrounds. Very good food, good quantity and good prices too. I'm a little biased since Myra is my cousin but it is a really good place to eat. Enjoy.

Just might be the best ride in the state. Don't forget to visit the Wellsboro Diner when in the area. Beautiful roads in beautiful country.

I have ridden this road many times and love the views along the way and have stopped in at all the places people have spoken about in there reviews. We really enjoy having lunch at the Sweden Valley Inn, Wellsboro Dinner and Roma Gardens in Kane along with other great establishments on the route, it is almost like going back in time.

This was a great ride and I enjoyed seeing all the sites and great views along the way. there was so much to see I cannot wait to ride it again to see some of the stuff I drove by. Really enjoyed lunch at the Sweden Valley in outside of Coudersport.

We take 6 at least once a year on our way to Austin, Pa. Which by the way is also a nice ride.(Coudersport south to Austin on 155).
The Kinzua Bridge sadly was taken out a few years ago by a tornado. Too bad, It was an awesome site.

If you ever take the same trip again, when you get to Smethport take RT 59 down through the Kinzua Dam, right before that there is a marina call the the Wolfrun, nice place to rest and eat. It's all National Forest through there. Plus 59 takes you right back on RT 6 in Warren.

Great cruiser/touring road. Lots of things to see along the way, be they small towns, growing towns, history or greenery. Certainly a route for those that want to putz around with things beyond just riding.

Great ride! There are so many things to see on this route. Wonderful little towns to pass through and great road quality. You must stop at the bridge and the pa grand canyon.

Only rode the eastern part from Towanda, didn't seem like anything special. Better than I80 if you need to cross the state but I would not go out of my way to ride this.

I grew up just North of Rt. 6 in a little town called Sunderlinville, and went to Galeton Area High School, which sits right on 6. When I got my first motorcycle in 1988, I rode from Wellsboro to Kane and back, and have ridden on the stretch between Wellsboro and Galeton more times than I can even count. It is truly a beautiful stretch of highway, with plenty of 'small town' atmosphere to enjoy and lots of interesting sights to see. I now live in Ohio, and get back home quite often, and riding Rt. 6 is the highlight of the trip. Early autumn when the foliage is changing may be the most beautiful ride on Rt. 6 ever.

Mid 2010 August ride from Milford to rt 219. What a ride! Some of the best scenery in PA and one of the nicer roads I have been on. Strongly suggest this ride to anyone who has a couple of days to burn. However, if you plan to stay in a room along the way, you might want to book ahead! The well drillers have all the hotels booked, every night!

Rode from the Pittston area to the PA Grand Canyon on Sept. 18. Route 92 to Route 6 was about 130 miles. The leaves just started to turn color another week or so later would have been amazing, Be sure to stop at the scenic overlooks and at the memorial for the Bradford County Deputy Sheriffs that were killed in the line of duty. Plan ahead if you are going to need lodging! The gas drilling employees have all the hotels/motels booked.

i've ridden bits of Hiway 6 in PA, from Troy to LaFayette on a bike, and done points west of 219, in and around the Allegheny Natl Forest by car.it is truly fabulous. the old diner in Wellsboro is WELL worth a visit, so is the Pennsylvania "Grand Canyon". the most amazing thing about it is the seeming lack of traffic. (this may have changed a bit with the advent of the drilling of the Marcellus Shale) i'd recommend that anyone headed east or west thru Pennsylvabnia make the effort to ride this route. you won't be disappointed. in the 2nd week of October (2010) i will head up there to stay with a bunch of friends in the Ox Yoke Motel around Galeton, west of Wellsboro. we plan a weekend of riding, i am certain it will be just great.

The wife and I took US 6 from Ohio and entended to go to NY. Cleveland was darn right scarey. Once we got into Pennsylvania the riding was beautiful. Our only problem was we could not find decent accomodations. No newer hotels or motels. The older hotels were in very poor condition with most that we found being low income dwellings. To bad because the riding was great. We ended up going south instead of continuing on US6.Ride On

August 01,2010Four of us rode in the area of Wellsboro for 5 days and the best ride was taking a run around the Allegheny National Forrest & Kinzua Dam, the roads were fantastic and the views are breath taking we rode 280 miles that day. Also the Grand Canyon is a must see while you up that way .

i have been on various sections, but never rode the whole route. a lot of small towns that allows you to get fuel, food, and lodging. a lot of of places to stop and visit. up and down the mountains. you will not be disappointed. watch for the speed limits in the village of gaines east of galeton. dont expect a lot of twisties, but the road surface is always in great shape.

We did some of Route 6 last weekend and it was great. We started around Marysville on Route 11 north. Then picked up 92 north to route 6 west. Back down to Marysville on Route 15 south. Incredible views! Roads were very nice, not much traffic, which surprised us on a Sat. Stopped at a few restaurants along the way and a scenic stop overlooking one of many valley views. Took about 9-10 hours round-trip at a nice cruising speed. We did encounter lots of water trucks, probably related to the drilling. We plan on going all the way west next time around. Maybe even stop at lake Erie. This is going to be one of our regular rides now!

Really enjoyed this route ,came down from the Peace Bridge Fort Erie ,caught Hwy 6 near Warren.Stayed two nights at Colton Point motel & visited Pa Grand Canyon definitely worth the side trip .Did the Tiadaghton & Worlds-End Tour also a must .Continued on to Scranton & headed north from there. Surprisingly there was quite a bit of heavy truck traffic but wasn't intimidating.

I rode the entire road which was a bit much. I'd recommend breaking off at some point to some of the great country roads along the way.

What a great ride. We went in Mid September so the foliage was showing early signs of changing. Scenery was great. I would jump at doing this ride again.

This is a must ride for any rider who is looking to find themselves. Take your time, stop and see the sights, take detours if they look fun... If you are daring, go alone 'cause I am sure that you'll enjoy it more.

Some great views, a lot of small towns, lots of things closed due to COVID except for the road work in a few stretches. Part of a three day ride from Baltimore and avoiding highways on the way and return home as much as possible, 1300 miles. A lot of color pops from foliage beginning to turn Stayed in Mansfield overnight. Went to Wellsboro, stopped in the Wellsboro Diner for breakfast...the Breakfast Special was a great starter. Went to PA Grand Canyon, great views. Decided to run up to Niagara Falls on our way to Warren PA for our second night. Everything closes early 8:30 - 9;00 so don't arrive too late. Headed out for Alleghany State Forest taking 62 (road just re-surfaced) to the Devils Hwy. Along 666 found a bald eagle in the middle of the road having a squirrel for lunch. Then took 219 down to 68 since we were running behind schedule...heck of a 3 day ride!

Rt. 6 western alternate route of Rt 6N also is an awesome start or finish to a Rt. 6 experience. Rt 6N takes you to the PA-Ohio Line and Lake Erie lakeshore.
