Route description

PA 409 approaching the junction with PA 706 in Camptown

PA 409 begins at an intersection with U.S. Route 6 (US 6; the Grand Army of the Republic Highway) in the hamlet of Homets Ferry in Standing Stone Township. The route heads to the northeast, crossing an old alignment of US 6 in the middle of fields before heading into the woodlands nearby, making a gradual curve out along a stagecoach road. The scenery changes from fields back to woodlands until Comiskey Road, where PA 409 turns eastward through fields and passes a lone residence. After intersecting with a dirt road, the highway enters a large patch of forestry, paralleling nearby Billings Creek Road before entering the village of Camptown. In Camptown, PA 409 heads eastward through some residences before intersecting with PA 706 and Quadrant Route 1017 (Herrickville Road). This intersection is the northern terminus of PA 409.[3]

The entire route is in Bradford County.
