Newside might be small, but it has some important roads! These roads help people travel to nearby towns and even to nature spots.

Park Avenue: A Busy Path

Park Avenue is a main road that many people use. It connects a state road called PA Route 873 with other small towns located near the Blue Mountain. If you're looking to explore nature, Park Avenue also leads you to the famous Appalachian Trail at a spot called Bake Oven Knob.

Washington Street: An Important Alternative
