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).

Excellent road I have ridden it many times from Pleasant Gap, one of the best rides in Pa, but if you go off onto 414 up north expect a bumpy ride at least the last time I rode it, but the view on both roads is great. On 414 heading towards Wellsboro. 414 is like Dukes of Hazard towns and 44 is like going to camp but it all is on a paved road, real nice. (Jack Hoff) knows nothing about riding if he doesn't like this rd.

i have been on this road and is a fun ride. but, if you dont ride 144 from snow shoe to galeton you are missing an even better ride. no gas or eatery until you get to the germania hotel. nothing fancy, but a place to stop and quinch your thirst. very little traffic just a lot of cabins.

have a cabin off of rt 6 just east of galeton. always take the bike with me. all of the roads are in decent shape. have been on all the roads in the area. not a lot of traffic, just a great ride. rt 6 is the main east , west road and is in super shape. take any road and you will have a great time.
