If you are planning to have more of a “staycation” this year rather than going far away, New Jersey has several scenic roads you can enjoy in your VW cars. With these scenic drives, you can enjoy the beauty of summer without blowing your budget.
Delaware River Scenic Byway
This beautiful drive is nearly 33 miles of significant history and breathtaking landscapes. You will drive through historic towns like Lambertville, Titusville, Raven Rock and more. You can think about the significance this area had in the American Revolution as this is where George Washington made his triumphant march into Trenton after crossing the Delaware River. It is located along Route 29 on the eastern border of the Delaware River.
Millstone Valley Byway
This 28-mile scenic drive takes about 45 minutes and is located along the Millstone River Valley in north central New Jersey. British troops and the local militia were involved in a number of skirmishes along this route during the Revolutionary War. Be sure to stop by the 1860 House on Montgomery Road for a truly unique and historical experience along the way.
With the economy the way it is, there is nothing wrong with deciding to stay close to home and save your money this traveling season. But getting out in your VW cars and seeing something you may have never seen before is also a great way to bond with family and have fond memories of the summer as well.
