Reply to comment by Blu_Skies_In_My_Head in Doing a road trip through the Northern Tier/Endless Mountains, any sights we should see? by Nvjds

Wtf I just looked into the Marie Antoinette thing… thats so random?? I’ve never heard of that in my life. We’re adding a stop for that.

These restaurant tips are great too. Do places in this region tend to sell Venison? Would love to try some premium deer meat

I don’t know of one, but would love to know if one exists. Good luck!

I’ll be sure to post about it here! Follow up question for you, is Forksville worth a visit? Our route is Meshoppen to Dushore to Laporte, then back down to i80 then back home. I’m starting to wonder if I should add Forksville and Eagles Mere to the route, give Sullivan County a few extra hours. Might use ‘worlds end road.’ Not worth it in the winter?

Info about Sullivan County has proven very hard to find, so thanks for your help!

Yeah, I’m not sure about the roads there right now, but it’s been really warm the last few days, so they should be fairly clear if they are paved.

This site has some info on PA road conditions and construction.

Eagles Mere is definitely worth it if the museums are open.

There’s a covered bridge there but not much else. Big Mike’s (cheesesteak joint) is closed for the season. Also be aware that Route 154 is closed between Worlds End Road and the park entrance. It’s just a few miles but requires a longish detour. Worlds End Road should be fine, it’s paved. Dry Run Rd to the falls and High Knob is mostly a no winter maintenance road and very spotty cell service so use caution. I recommend downloading offline Google maps for that area.

Ohhhh so thats why google maps was rerouting me... where exactly is it closed? Thats actually a pretty important detail, there are so few roads that I basically would have to pick between Eagles and Forksville. I’d rather see a view/falls than a covered bridge, though. Just downloaded the map too, thank you for that, that might save my ass tomorrow 😂

If you are traveling Route 154 west from US 220 you can get to Worlds End Rd. If you are traveling 154 east from Route 87, you can get to the Worlds End State Park entrance but there is no route east (at least not on accessible roads) past the park.

Okay great! We’d be going into it from 220. Worth a stop? We'll be by it around noon if things go to plan

Any venison you buy in PA will be farm raised, probably red deer. If it's whitetail; it's illegal to buy.

Shafferfarms.com is one place I am aware that sells elk/venison. They are in Northumberland County. Enjoy your trip!
