Scenic drive: 206 in Wharton State Forest

The video actually starts on Columbia Road, CR 693. We turn off Columbia Road onto a small un-named road, and then turn again onto 613 which takes us to U.S. 206. Throughout the rest of the tour we are driving on 206. We end the video soon after leaving Wharton SF. We start the tour in Atlantic County, and while on 206 we cross the boundary into Burlington County.

So along the way we see some big blueberry fields on both sides of the road, and then the old (abandoned) Rider cranberry bogs on the left, which are part of Wharton State Forest now. We also pass Atsion Lake and the Atsion office of Wharton State Forest.

GREAT SHAPES! Man those crazy drivers...they were probably tourists. You seem to drive at a pretty good pace, I really dont know what is with those ppl.

@PinePowerLI It's amazing how they will risk their lives to get aroound me when trucks are coming the other way! I really don't get it. And why do they feel that 50 mph is so slow! I can't figure it out.

206, my favorite road in NJ. Love going all the wayup to North Jersy on it, then turning around and heading back. Atsion, what a cool place and nice stop on the way. You stay on 206 North into Chester NJ and you're almost at the Hookerman Ghost Lights. There's so much to see an do on that road.

@Malcontent1 I used to drive up as far as Flanders once or twice a year for awhile. I think the furthest north I've been on 206 is Netcong, although I've been in Sussex County many times, just not on 206.

That really gets on my nerves when people tailgate. Nice trees along that highway. Report the trash thrower! Peace

@dolly244 I wish I could have reported the guy, but I would have needed a tag number.

I drive that stretch of road 5 days a week, along with other roads in other videos.
