Route description
PA 177 begins at an intersection with PA 74 in the community of Rossville in Warrington Township, heading northeast on two-lane undivided Rosstown Road.The road passes through wooded areas with some homes before entering forested areas of Gifford Pinchot State Park and crossing a portion of Pinchot Lake. The route continues to form the northwestern boundary of the state park, passing a few homes and fields. Upon reaching Maytown, PA 177 leaves the state park and turns north through more hilly forests. The road crosses the Stony Run and becomes the border between Fairview Township to the west and Newberry Township to the east, passing through a mix of farms and woods with a few homes. Upon crossing PA 382, the route enters Lewisberry and becomes Market Street as it is lined with homes. After leaving Lewisberry, PA 177 continues northeast into Newberry Township and becomes Potts Hill Road as it passes through farmland with some residences. The road ascends a forested hill as it becomes the border between Fairview Township and Newberry Township again.[1][2]
Upon intersecting PA 392, Potts Hill Road turns east to follow that route and PA 177 continues north on Wyndamere Road. The route descends the hill into a mix of farms and homes, with the road fully entering Fairview Township. The road passes a mix of homes and businesses as it comes to an interchange with I-83. Past here, the PA 177 passes more residences before ending at PA 262 a short distance later.[1][2] PA 177 formerly turned left onto Old York Road and traveled a short distance northwest to an intersection with PA 262; this segment was eliminated when the PA 262 intersection was realigned in 2011.[3]
