Did You Have an Accident in Volant?

Volant sits in northern Lawrence County along Neshannock Creek, approximately 10 minutes from both Interstate 79 and Interstate 80. The small borough has transformed from a 19th-century mill town into a popular tourist destination, with its Main Street lined with specialty shops, antique stores, and restaurants.

PA Route 208 runs through the center of Volant as Main Street, descending toward the Neshannock Creek bridge before continuing east toward I-79 at Leesburg. PA Route 168 intersects Route 208 on the east side of the borough, heading south toward New Castle. The combination of tourist traffic, local residents, and Amish buggies creates a challenging driving environment.

The narrow Main Street through the shopping district sees heavy pedestrian traffic, particularly on weekends and during seasonal events like the Sunflower & Pumpkin Fest and Christmas Cookie Crawl. Parking areas overflow during peak times, with visitors walking along the roadway. The historic Volant Mills building and the various shops along both sides of the street generate constant foot traffic.

Neshannock Creek, which runs through the borough, is designated a Keystone Select Water and attracts fly fishermen to the area. The nature trail along the creek adds pedestrian activity near the parking areas at the end of town.
