Smithfield Township, just north of exit 309 (formerly 52) of
I-80. PA 447 proceeds northwest along Independence Road through Smithfield Township, a two-lane roadway through a commercial section of the township, passing west of a
park and ride lot owned by
Martz Trailways. The route soon crosses into the borough of
East Stroudsburg, turning westward along Independence Road. PA 447 passes south of Terra Greens Golf Course, soon entering the northern reaches of downtown East Stroudsburg. A short distance into the center, PA 447 intersects with
US 209 Bus. (North Courtland Street). PA 447 and US 209 Business runs north for three blocks as a concurrency via North Courtland. At the junction with Milford Road, US 209 Business turns northeast along Milford while PA 447 turns northwest along Analomink Road. Now in
Stroud Township, PA 447 crosses Samba Creek and bypasses the Gravel Place section of East Stroudsburg, paralleling the
Delaware-Lackawanna Railroad, passing Pinebrook Park, and reaching an intersection with
PA 191 (North Fifth Street). At this junction, PA 191 and PA 447 continue northwest along Analomink Road, passing the future site of the
Analomink New Jersey Transit station. PA 191 and PA 447 continue northwest and soon bends to the northeast into the
Analomink section of Stroud Township. Paralleling
Brodhead Creek, the routes continue northeast and soon north past the Evergreen Golf Club. Just north of the golf club, PA 447 turns northwest along Creek Road while PA 191 continues west along Analomink Road. The route bends northeast along Brodhead Creek, crossing into
Price Township, crossing through the dense woods of
Monroe County. PA 447 and Brodhead Creek wind northwest for several miles, soon turning northward near Circle H Road. Near Laurel Run Road, PA 447 soon leaves the dense woods for a residential section of Price Township. When the route and the creek turn northward again, they return to the woods, which begins to break up a short distance later. PA 447 continues north, passing some residences near Snow Hill Road, passing an intersection with Bear Town Road, crossing into
Barrett Township. PA 447 continues northwest along Brodhead Creek, passing a small pond nearby. At the junction with Spruce Cabin Road, the route turns to the north again, reaching a junction with
PA 390 (Krummel Hill Road) in

After turning northward again, the route remains a two-lane woods/residential road, reaching the village of Coveville. Changing names to Spruce Mountain Road, PA 447 climbs Spruce Mountain and turns northeast as it bypasses Lake in the Clouds. Turning northwest once again, PA 447, the route continues north past the lake, reaching the
Pike County line. Now in the Pike County municipality of
Greene Township, PA 447 crosses north past dense woods and residences as Panther Road, a two-lane roadway. The route makes a large curve to the northwest through the area of Lake Russell. Rather than crossing through the dense woods, PA 447 becomes a two-lane roadway through fields of Greene Township. At Pine Grove Road, the route turns northward, reaching the village of Panther, a small residential community in Greene Township. The route becomes predominantly flat, crossing a junction with Stoney Lonesome Road, where the Panther Road name is dropped from the roadway. Turning northwest, the route crosses over
