Route 206 Might Be The Most Beautiful Drive Through New Jersey

The most beautiful drive through New Jersey may be along Route 206, which stretches from Hammonton, New Jersey to the Pennsylvania border.

Route 206 stretches for over 130 miles in New Jersey. It starts off in the Pine Barrens, where Route 30 splits Route 54 and the beginning of this long, winding highway.

If you drive the whole length from Hammonton, you’ll start off by passing cranberry bogs, pine forests, farmlands and lakes.

Soon, the highway begins to cross other major thoroughfares, like Route 70 and Route 38, before becoming a slightly busier route near Columbus. Lots of travelers along the road stop at the enormous Columbus Flea Market before continuing on their way.

After crossing through Bordentown and Trenton, Princeton’s gorgeous architecture and historic campus make for a stunning windshield view.

All along the drive, idyllic farming communities and small town businesses dot the intersections beyond the larger cities.

Another fun stop for history lovers is the Jacobus Vanderveer House which is from pre-Revolutionary War times.

Burnt Mill Ciders is a good place to stop and try a flight of locally brewed craft ciders, or to visit when a food truck is parked out front.

As you get higher into the mountains, the views get better and better! Allamuchy State Forest soon dominates the windshield sights.

Route 206 ends at the Milford Bridge that crosses the Delaware River in Pennsylvania. It’s a toll bridge, but the view is worth the fare!

Before heading back home, take a short detour to see High Point Monument. You’ll have traveled from sea level to the highest spot in the state on this beautiful drive in New Jersey!
