Great rural roads and farmland in this area make it a very enjoyable ride.

Shades of Death Road

Aside from the name there's nothing so odd about Shades of Death Road. Beautiful scenic farmland is the attraction, but it was disappointing that no one named their property Shady Death Farm or Deathly Acres, but I suppose one could understand.

Yup, this one's more NJ legend-and-lore than roadside attraction....
