Milford, Pennsylvania, USA

Driving north on scenic U.S. Route 209 through the Delaware Watergap National Recreation Area, between East Stroudsburg and Port Jarvis, Milford is a final respite before you hit the big time traffic. This is the end of a quiet two-lane drive, but keep your speed down in Milford. It has a reputation for speed traps and heavy fines. Otherwise, Milford is a quaint, historic, and artistic small town that is full of pleasant surprises.
