Delaware Water Gap · US-209

Milford to Delaware Water Gap on US-209, inside the national recreation area: forest, the river off to one side and almost no commercial strip along the way. It's a flowing ride with no tight corners, good for newer riders or as a warm-up before something more technical; the last stretch drops down River Rd to Shawnee. Weekend traffic from NYC and NJ can be heavy, and the Dingmans Falls access is closed for construction in 2026. Check the NPS alerts before heading out.
