Pennsylvania Route 848 (PA 848) is a 6.66-mile-long (10.72 km) state highway located in Susquehanna County in Pennsylvania. The western terminus is at U.S. Route 11 (US 11) just south of PA 492 in New Milford. The eastern terminus is at PA 547 in Gibson Township. PA 848 remains as a former portion of PA 371, which was originally designated in 1936 from New Milford to the New York state line. The highway was designated as PA 848 in 1961, seven years after it was truncated from New Milford.
PA 848 begins at an intersection with US 11 (Main Street) in New Milford. The route runs east towards Cobb Street, making a bend to the southeast. Passing through a residential area, the route leaves the borough of New Milford and enters the township of New Milford. The surroundings become more rural, and at the intersection with State Route 2061 (SR 2061), the route curves to the southeast into a dense forested area. PA 848 remains a two-lane road through New Milford Township. The route soon reaches SR 2063 (Far Hill Road) and later with SR 2081 (Oliver Road), which serves as the connection between Interstate 81's (I-81) exit 219 southbound and PA 848. After crossing over I-81, PA 848 intersects the northbound ramps before returning to the rural Gibson Township. After the intersection with Creek Road, PA 848 enters the village of Gibson, where it terminates at an intersection with PA 547 and Township Road 574.
