Pennsylvania Route 154 (PA 154) is a 31.5-mile-long (50.7 km) northwest-southeast state highway located in northern Pennsylvania. The southern terminus is at U.S. Route 220 (US 220) in Laporte. The northern terminus of the route is at PA 414 in Canton.
The road is called South Minnequa Avenue for half a mile at its northern terminus in Canton. It then becomes Lake Hill Road for two miles (3 km), and later Wheelerville Mountain Road for three miles (5 km). It goes through the small villages of Wheelerville, Shunk, Lincoln Falls, and Estella before going down a hill toward Forksville. It serves as a corner of Church Street in Forksville, just south of its brief intersection with PA 87. The road then zig zags (concurring with PA 87), crossing the Little Loyalsock Creek in the process. The remainder of the highway meanders with the Loyalsock Creek going through Worlds End State Park before terminating at US 220 north of the county seat of Laporte.
From 1928 to 1946, PA 154 once continued along a concurrency with US 220 into Laporte, before turning off towards Nordmont and Emmons before ending at PA 115 at Coles Creek.

The road curves to the north and passes through more rural areas before heading into the borough of Canton.
