A scenic view of the Roebling Pedestrian Bridge at Lumberville/Raven Rock captures the beauty of the Delaware River and the Delaware River Scenic Byway. Roebling, who went on to build the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, built this modern steel suspension bridge that sits on top of original 1855 stone abutments. — Lumberville/Raven Rock Pedestrian Bridge

Parallel ribbons of history can be seen - the Delaware and Raritan Canal with its multiuse path and historic buildings (such as the Ferry House used during the Christmas morning crossing of George Washington) and the calming flow of the Delaware River. Nearby Pennsylvania can be seen in the background, connected by a historic bridge. — The D&R Canal, Washington's Crossing and the Delaware River

Before you drive

Choose your stops before departure and check current road access, weather and vehicle suitability. A byway listing does not guarantee that every section or visitor facility is open.

Make it a satisfying day

Choose a realistic section, then allow time for viewpoints, a town stop and breaks. Scenic mileage rarely tells the whole story of how long an outing will take.

Match the road to your vehicle

Check the exact roads for your car, RV or motorcoach. Tunnel dimensions, turning space, grades and road surfaces can matter as much as distance.
