Pennsylvania Route 646 - Route Description - Rew To Bells Camp

Rew To Bells Camp

Route 646, after crossing out of Rew, enters the dense woodlands once again, where yet another pipeline is crossed. When the highway reaches this pipeline, the alignment of the highway turns, winding along Summit Road along the base of Pratt Hollow. The highway continues northward, winding around several mountains through the Bradford Oil Field, passing a large swamp before entering the small community of Summit. In Summit, Route 646 is partially developed, with most of the population situated at the intersection of Route 646 with Pennsylvania Route 246. The route intersects with a Schimp Lane, a local road, before turning to the north and out of Summit. The route heads northward for a short distance, paralleling a grade right-of-way road, which heads eastward to Walkertown. A short distance later, Route 646 enters a small developed area, where the route intersects with Pennsylvania Route 346.

At the intersection with Route 346, Route 646 turns off its right-of-way, which continues along a pipeline as a dirt road, and onto a concurrency with the aforementioned touring route. Route 646 and Route 346 head eastward, intersecting with several dirt roads in a light woodland. The two highways continue eastward, entering the community of Red Rock. In Red Rock, most of the highway is unpopulated, until an intersection with Narrow Gauge Road, where most of the residential homes stand. When Narrow Gauge Road intersects with the two highways once again, Routes 646 and 346 enter the community of Derrick City. In Derrick City, the highways pass along a stretch of residential houses before Route 646 turns off to the north on Olean Road. Route 346 continues ahead along Derrick Road towards Bradford.

After turning on Olean Road, Route 646 turns to the northeast, running along the Pennbrook Run for the entire stretch of highway. Along the highway several residential homes surround, while the road enters the community of Bells Camp. Bells Camp is moderately developed, and is the last designated community along Route 646. The highway forks off from Bells Camp Road, continuing further to the northeast along Olean Road. When the route turns to the east, Route 646 intersects with a connector street back to Bells Camp Road, which parallels to the north. The highway is undeveloped from this point, intersecting with Fullerton Road, which terminates at Olean Road. The route continues northward, paralleling Pennsylvania Route 546 and Knapp Creek, before crossing the state line into New York a distance northwest of Fullerton. The right-of-way continues northward as New York State Route 16 towards Olean.
