The alignment of PA 237 began at an intersection with its parent highway,
PA 37 in Lackawaxen Township, near Roebling's Delaware Aqueduct. This is currently the intersection with PA 590. The highway heads eastward along the banks of the Delaware River and a nearby railroad track towards Shohola Township. There is an intersection with Delaware Drive just after the inception. Delaware Drive heads to a dead-end at the banks of the Delaware River. The highway passes some homes to the north and a dense forest to the south. There is also a mansion atop a nearby hill. After a clearing, the highway enters the dense forest completely and turns to the southeast.[citation needed
