On
this quiet 2-lane road you'll run along the Delaware
Bay coast, passing thru coastal estuaries (the wide
mouth of a rivers into which the tide flows) and farmland.
From start to stop, there are many side roads leading
to the Del River to stop and take great pictures!
It goes from farmlands, to wetlands!

Road Quality: 
|
2-lane
secondary road, winding thru the country and along
the Delaware shore. Road quality is good, but the
road has very few area's with a shoulder, and a breakdown
could put you in some danger from the many blind curves.
The ride is a blast, however. From the Air
Mobility museum located at the Dover End,
to the view from the Reedy point Bridge as you approach
Del city, you will find a lot of things to catch your
eye, and enough turns and long straights to both challenge
your cornering, and satisfy you need to open it up
a bit. Be on the lookout for farm equipment, and deer!
