Delaware Water Gap Loop - By Guest

Just completed the loop. It was a lot of fun. The only reason I gave it a 7 instead of higher, was that all of the forests block your view of the water. There are several scenic stops though. It would probably be better in the fall. Here is a custom map from Turkey Hill in Easton, PA. https://goo.gl/maps/dVC2. It does have a twist though... I did something different Southbound. I stayed on River Road instead of taking 209 through Bushkill. There was a growing traffic jam through Bushkill on 209. I was eating lunch just past Community Rd. which is the turn off that you want off of 209 to get to River Rd. CAUTION: If you eat lunch in Bushkill, then head back North to get onto community Road, it is a hairpin turn. My big cruiser and I lost our footing trying to walk the bike around the hairpin (gravel and dust). Thanks to all of the fine gentlemen that helped me lift 750 pounds. Barely a scratch. My floorboards saved everything. Who says you need engine guards? Do not let that discourage you. The roads are awesome and if you do not go into Bushkill, and turn onto Community Road while going Southbound on 209, you'll be fine.
