Tour Old Mine Road
Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area
Take a tour of Old Mine Road.
Constructed in the mid-1600s, Old Mine Road connected the Hudson River and Philadelphia to the Pahaquarry Mines and provided an important conduit for New Jersey farmers taking crops to area markets, making it one of the oldest commercial roads in the country. Old Mine Road has seen soldiers to and from home. Historic structures, graveyards, churches, and homes are scattered along the route. Today, Old Mine Road connects several roads to the park's main passage in New Jersey. A popular driving and biking route, Old Mine Road attracts many visitors every year.
