Pennsylvania Route 858 (designated by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation as SR 0858) is a 16.465-mile-long (26.498 km) state highway located in Susquehanna County in Pennsylvania. The southern terminus is at PA 706 in Rush Township. The northern terminus is the New York state line in Little Meadows. The route from there continues as Tioga County Route 41. The route was assigned in 1928, completed a year later, and has remained the same since, with an exception of its southern terminus changing designations from Pennsylvania Route 67.
PA 858 begins at an intersection with PA 706 in the Rush Township community of Rushville. The highway begins its long trek in Susquehanna County by progressing northward in a patch of forests. PA 858, which runs west of a creek, is sparsely populated and homes are rare. PA 858 winds its way in and out of forests, heading on a northeast direction. Soon after, there is an intersection with Keefs Hill Road, a locally maintained highway. After Keefs Hill Road, PA 858 heads back into a dense patch of trees. In the forest, is an intersection with C. Warner Road, and soon after comes one for Shadduck Road.
Although the dense forest ends, trees continue to surround the highway. The route turns a short drift off its alignment at an intersection with Miller Road. The route turns from the northward direction it was heading to a northwestern direction and intersects eventually with Guilton Road. The dense forestry returns, and Route 858 begins winding its way along. Residential homes have all but disappeared from the route, with trees showing the way into Middletown Center. PA 858 passes a pond to the east, intersecting with the former alignment of PA 859, now a locally maintained highway known as Vet Davis Road and Camp Corby Road.
