PA 948 begins at an intersection with PA 255 in Fox Township, Elk County, heading southwest on two-lane undivided Fairview Road. The road passes through rural residential areas, curving west into a mix of farmland, woodland, and homes. The route becomes Main Street and runs through the community of Kersey, where it passes residences and a few businesses. PA 948 becomes West Main Street Extended and heads west-northwest into wooded areas with some fields and development, becoming Shelvey Summit Road and passing through Shelvey. The road heads west between agricultural areas to the north and woodland to the south before heading into more wooded areas with some homes, curving northwest. The route heads into Ridgway Township and becomes Kersey Road, heading between woods to the northeast and farmland to the southwest with some development. PA 948 comes to an intersection with U.S. Route 219 (US 219) in Boot Jack and continues north-northwest concurrent with that route on Boot Jack Road.[2][3]
