LambertvilleWashington CrossingTrenton; State 29.
State 29, one of the few sections of well-paved road closely paralleling
the Delaware River on the New Jersey shore, runs southeast almost at
water level. This traffic lane between the river and the higher ground rising abruptly from the eastern bank offers scenery of more than average
charm, including some fine views of the Pennsylvania countryside on the
opposite shore. The road passes through Washington Crossing State Park,
where Washington landed his army for a successful assault on the Hessians
in Trenton.
State 29 branches south from US 202 (see Tour 4), with which it is
united halfway across the State, at LAMBERTVILLE, 0 mile (50 alt.,
4,518 pop.) (see Tour 4), 0.5 miles east of New Hope, Pa.
Lambertville to Trenton, 15.4 m.
Pennsylvania R.R. parallels the route throughout.
Usual accommodations; good concrete roadbed.
