Route description

PA 607 in Austin

Route 607 begins at a fork with Route 155 (Keating Summit Road) just east of the hamlet of Keating Summit. The route progresses to the north for a short distance through a small community. Route 607 then continues into woodlands, making a dart to the north, then east, than southeast. At an intersection with Reed Run Road, the highway rotates between southeast and eastern progressions. The highway remains rural, surrounded by forests, paralleling nearby Bush Hill Road. Route 607 makes a gradual curve to the northeast, leaving Bush Hill Road before turning southeast once again. The alignment crosses through a large creek in the woods, paralleling a gas line. Continuing to the southeast, the highway intersects Gas Well Road, which heads north and Cowley Hill Road, which heads west from the highway. At this point, Route 607 leaves the deep woodlands, entering some rural farmlands. A short distance later, the highway enters the community of Austin, where it gains the moniker of West Main Street. The development along Route 607 is rather small until the intersection with Garretson Street. There, some local development surrounds the roadway, which reaches a T-intersection with Route 872 (Rugaber Street) in downtown Austin.[2]

The entire route is in Potter County.
