PA 447 begins at a traffic signal with US 209 (Seven Bridges Road) in Smithfield Township, just north of exit 309 (formerly 52) of I-80.

PA 447 passes south of Terra Greens Golf Course, soon entering the northern reaches of downtown East Stroudsburg.

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).

Paralleling Brodhead Creek, the routes continue northeast and soon north past the Evergreen Golf Club.

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.

Turning northwest once again, PA 447, the route continues north past the lake, reaching the Pike County line.

[2] 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.

At Pine Grove Road, the route turns northward, reaching the village of Panther, a small residential community in Greene Township.

This junction marks the northern terminus of PA 447, which continues west as Crestmont Drive towards the village of Jericho.
