The route turns northwest into wooded areas before curving north into open agricultural areas with a few homes. PA 985 runs through more farmland and woodland with some residences as it continues into Jenner Township. The road curves northeast and becomes the border between Jennerstown to the northwest and Jenner Township to the southeast as it passes southeast of Jennerstown Speedway. The route fully enters Jennerstown as it passes homes before heading into business areas and crossing US 30. Past this, PA 985 passes through wooded areas of homes before becoming the border between Jenner Township to the northwest and Jennerstown to the southeast as it passes west of Stoughton Lake. The road heads entirely into Jennerstown again as it runs through farmland with some homes. The route continues back into Jenner Township, running through open agricultural areas with some patches of woods and residences.

The road turns to the northeast and passes through Forwardstown, curving east through more woodland with some fields and residences. The route crosses into Conemaugh Township, heading into more forested areas with a few homes and turning northeast at Thomas Mills. PA 985 continues north through more rural areas, winding to the northwest before heading northeast at an intersection with SR 4018 as it begins to run along the northwestern bank of Bens Creek.
