Route description
PA 437 begins at an intersection with PA 940 in White Haven, heading north on two-lane, undivided Church Street. The route passes homes and some businesses before crossing into Dennison Township and becoming an unnamed road. At this point, the road passes a mix of farmland and woodland. Farther northwest, PA 437 passes through forested mountain areas and passes under a Reading Blue Mountain and Northern Railroad line before entering Wright Township. Here, the road becomes Woodlawn Avenue and passes through a tract of the Lackawanna State Forest, making a turn to the north and running a short distance to the east of the railroad line. In this area, the road passes a few residences as it continues into Fairview Township and winds north past more forests with occasional homes. PA 437 makes a turn to the northwest as it passes over the railroad tracks and comes to its northern terminus at PA 309 in the community of Mountain Top.[2][3]
