PA 715 begins at an intersection with US 209 in Brodheadsville in Chestnuthill Township, heading north on a two-lane undivided road.

Farther north, the route passes a mix of farms, woods, and homes, crossing the creek again.

The route heads northeast into Pocono Township and runs through woods with some commercial development, passing to the southeast of the Northampton Community College Monroe Campus before reaching to an interchange with I-80.

After this, the route crosses Pocono Creek and forms a short wrong-way concurrency with PA 611 in Tannersville.

Past PA 611, the highway continues northeast through dense forests with occasional areas of wooded housing developments.

Following this intersection, the route continues into Paradise Township and passes through more forests before ending at PA 191 in Henryville.
