With its rolling hills and winding roads, Pennsylvania was pretty much made for scenic drives, whether we want to embark on a short jaunt or prefer to travel hundreds of miles. One of the most beautiful scenic drives in Pennsylvania is arguably along Pennsylvania Route 6. Whether you drive part or all of Route 6 in Pennsylvania, you’re about to set off on a one-of-a-kind adventure.

Some of the most beloved attractions sit along PA Route 6, an epic 400-mile scenic drive that starts in Crawford County near the Ohio border and ends near the New York border.

Whether you prefer paper or GPS, make sure you have a map of Route 6 before hitting the road.
The drive through Pennsylvania, however, is just a small portion of the larger Route 6, which spans 3,199 miles from Provincetown, Massachusetts to Bishop, California.

If you’re starting out from the Ohio side of Route 6, one of the first attractions you’ll come to, at Mile Marker 7, is Pymatuning State Park. Even if you don’t have a lot of time, pull over to feed the ducks.

What’s so unique about feeding the ducks? Well, they stand on the backs of the many carp that reside in the Linesville Spillway. You must purchase food at the park.
