The route curves east before turning northeast again, heading through more wooded areas with some fields and homes as Rouseville Road and passing through Plumer. PA 227 runs through more forests and turns to the north, heading into Oil Creek Township. The road continues through woodland with a few small farms and residences, heading through East Shamburg. In the community of Jerusalem Corners, the route turns northeast onto Shreve Run Road and runs through more rural areas. PA 227 comes to an intersection with PA 27, at which point it turns southeast to form a concurrency with that route on West State Street, entering Pleasantville. The road passes homes, coming to an intersection with Main Street. At this point, PA 27 and PA 227 turn north onto North Main Street and PA 36 continues southeast on East State Street.
