PA 314 begins at an interchange with PA 940 and Woodland Drive, which reaches old Route 940, in the community of Pocono Summit in Tobyhanna Township. Known as Manor Drive, PA 314 heads south through heavily forested areas, turning to the east. The route crosses into Pocono Township and continues eastward through the wooded residential community of Pocono Manor. The first intersection is with SR 4007, also known as Fairview Avenue. The route passes through more dense forests before reaching an intersection with PA 611. At this point, PA 314 merges southeast onto PA 611 the two roads become concurrent for a short distance on a four-lane divided highway.
