Route description

PA 414 begins at an intersection with PA 44 in Cummings Township, Lycoming County, heading north-northwest on a two-lane undivided road. The route heads through dense forests and mountains of the Tiadaghton State Forest along the west bank of Pine Creek, crossing into McHenry Township. The road crosses to the east bank of the creek and the Pine Creek Rail Trail, turning northwest and passing through Jersey Mills and Blue Stone. PA 414 heads through the residential community of Cammal and continues through more forests alongside the rail trail, passing through Ross. The road curves to the north and enters Brown Township, turning to the northeast and leaving the Tiadaghton State Forest as it passes through more dense forests. The route curves north and passes through Slate Run before heading through Hilborn and crossing the Pine Creek Rail Trail and Pine Creek again, this time on the historic Bridge in Brown Township. PA 414 turns northeast and runs along the northwest bank of the creek through more dense forests on the eastern edge of the Tioga State Forest. The road continues to wind northeast through forested areas along the creek, with the rail trail crossing the creek to run next to the road.^[1][2]

PA 414 enters Morris Township in Tioga County and continues northeast through more forests, crossing the Pine Creek and Pine Creek Rail Trail for the final time and passing through Blackwell. The road winds northeast through forested areas to the south of Babb Creek, running through Doane. Farther northeast, the route heads away from the Tioga State Forest and comes to an intersection with PA 287 in Hoytville. At this point, PA 414 forms a concurrency with PA 287, heading through wooded areas of homes. In Morris, PA 287 splits to the northwest and PA 414 continues east into more dense forests. The road continues through wooded areas with some fields and sparse residences, crossing into Liberty Township. The route runs through a mix of farmland and woodland with homes, heading to the east-southeast. PA 414 heads southeast and comes to an interchange with the US 15 freeway before continuing into Liberty, where it becomes High Street and heads east into residential areas.
