Nestled just over an hour between Philadelphia and New York, this serene shoreline drive along the Delaware River is amazingly remote for such a densely populated place. This drive starts in Trenton, at the State House of New Jersey, on Route 29 north. About 8 miles down the path, turn right on Route 546 to visit Washington Crossing State Park, site of George Washington’s Delaware River crossing in 1776. As you drive through the park, a 22-mile waterway is visible, which leads to a canal that is neatly contained within the Raritan and Delaware Canal State Park.
