Contents

This highway crosses Raystown Lake via a bridge over the lake. Fireworks are held at the Raystown Lake Resort on Memorial Day Weekend, July 3 and the Sunday night before Labor Day. The fireworks at the resort are watched on the lake but they can be seen from the bridge because the resort is just south of the PA 994 bridge which crosses Raystown Lake.[ citation needed ]

Route description

PA 994 westbound in Orbisonia

Traveling east from Entriken, the route travels to the southeast before turning to the north and making a U-turn to parallel the shore of Raystown Lake. PA 994 then crosses the lake twice, once on a small bridge crossing a small "finger" of the lake and the second time on a bridge that is combination of a land bridge and a man-made bridge. Following the second crossing, the route returns to a southeasterly path.

For the next 4.5 miles (7.2 km), PA 994 parallels the southern border of the Trough Creek State Park, turning to the south in the progress. The route returns east near State Route 3019 (SR 3019) in Cooks before taking an erratic path eastward due to the terrain up to an intersection with PA 655 south of the borough of Saltillo. After forming a short 170-yard (160 m) concurrency with PA 655, PA 994 continues east to the borough of Three Springs.
