Route description

PA 244/PA 449 in Genesee Township

PA 244 begins at an intersection with PA 44 in the community of Coneville in Hebron Township, heading east-northeast on a two-lane undivided road. The road runs through a narrow valley with some agriculture and homes, entering Oswayo. At this point, the route becomes Main Street and passes a few homes before crossing into Oswayo Township. PA 244 heads east on Rose Lake Road through hilly forested areas, turning southeast and briefly entering Genesee Township before continuing into Allegany Township. The route heads east into agricultural areas and turns north onto Andrews Settlement Road in the community of Andrews Settlement.^[1][2]

The road heads back into Genesee Township and passes through a mix of farms and woods as it passes through Ellisburg. Farther north, PA 244 continues through a narrow agricultural valley with a few homes as Ellisburg Road, running through Chapmans. The route turns northeast through forests and reaches an intersection with PA 449 in the community of Genesee. Here, PA 244 turns north to form a concurrency with PA 449 on Main Street, passing homes and businesses. PA 244 splits from PA 449 by turning east and crossing the Genesee River. The route turns northeast again onto Ellisburg Road and enters woods, continuing to the New York border. At the border, PA 244 ends and the road becomes NY 248A.^[1][2]
