At the opposite end of NY 426, the route re-enters Pennsylvania as the northern segment of PA 426.

Like most of the areas surrounding the southern segment of PA 426, most of the northern portion is as equally rural.

The route heads northwest, then west from the state line as Findley Lake Road.

PA 426 was established in 1928,[citation needed] in Bedford County, northwest of Breezewood, as a short spur of Pennsylvania Route 26.

From the city of Corry to the New York state line, Pennsylvania Route 189 ran on PA 426.
