At about that point, PA 442 makes a gradual bend to the east and passes more residences before a turn to the southeast, where it enters Clarkstown.

At the edge of Clarkstown, the highway passes some large industry and soon into a long stretch of residences before leaving after the intersection with Turkey Bottom Road.

PA 442 continues southeastward for a while, passing a slew of residences and fields before entering dense woods near the intersection with Rock Road.

After the intersection with P Houseknecht Road, the highway returns to its windy nature and bends to the southeast, and soon eastward once again.

This southeastern descent turns into a southward one after Shingle Run Road, where the dense woods begin to break up once again.
