Pennsylvania Route 390 (PA 390) is a 25.3-mile-long (40.7 km) state highway located in Monroe and Pike counties in Pennsylvania. The southern terminus is at PA 940 in Paradise Township. The northern terminus is at PA 507 in Tafton View. The route is a two-lane undivided road that runs through forested areas in the Pocono Mountains. PA 390 begins at PA 940 west of Paradise Valley and heads northeast. The route runs concurrent with PA 191 between Cresco and Mountainhome before it splits and intersects PA 447 in Canadensis. PA 390 passes through Skytop before it crosses the county line and runs through Promised Land State Park. The route has an interchange with Interstate 84 (I-84) before passing through Tafton and ending at PA 507 near Lake Wallenpaupack.
PA 390 was designated in 1928 to run between PA 90 (now PA 191) in Mountainhome and PA 90/PA 507 in Newfoundland, with PA 90 following the current route south of Mountainhome. The route was realigned in the 1930s to head north from Canadensis to its current terminus at PA 507 north of Tafton, with PA 290 (now PA 447) extended along the former alignment between Canadensis and Newfoundland. PA 90 was shifted to a more direct alignment between Paradise Valley and Cresco in the 1940s, with the former section becoming unnumbered. PA 390 was extended south to its current terminus at PA 940 in the 1970s.
