Written Directions

The route bigins in Phillipsburg, NJ which sits just 20 or so miles from Allentown, PA. Pick up Route 519 North in Phillipsburg, NJ just off of Route 22. Simply stay on Route 519 from Phillipsburg to Newton to Colesville. At Colesville you need to get on Route 23 and take it North (left) in to High Point. The first clue you're in the highlands area is your view of the Water Gap in Harmony Township... beeeeaaaauuuutiful. Note: Following 519 is tricky in Newton. And, about 55 of the 60 miles of this route take place on Route 519. Just the last 5 or so miles take place on Route 23.

Scenery

Rolling rural hills of the "highlands" area of New Jersey. No turnpike exits or chemical plants here. Overall you're going to see some nice farmland and rolling hills and be taken to the highest pont in New Jersey and take in a nice view. If you like rural riding, you'll enjoy this ride.

Drive Enjoyment

Fairly smooth winding, rolling 2-lane road whose speed limit ranges from 15 to 55. Some twisties.

Tourism Opportunities

Not much goin' on in rural Northwest Jersey (cow tippin?), besides, you're there for the ride aren't you? A few eateries here and there.

Absolutely gorgeous ride. You will have trouble keeping your eyes on the road, the scenery is spectacular. The one stop sign small towns, and vistas are great. One would never believe they are in NJ. A must ride!

Actually, 519 starts just north of Lambertville; it's over 88 miles and the whole route is made for motorcycles.

I ride this road quite often it is AWSOME, VERY scenic. My route is I hit it in Newton head towards Phillipsburg. From there I hit the free bridge and cross into PA Hit 611 north and stop at the Riverside Grill about 20min. ride once you hit 611. On a nice Sunday or their bikenight Mondays you'll see a TON of sweet rides. I love this route because you go from some very scenic country cruising to a nice pleasant ride along the Delaware
