Millstone Valley Scenic Byway
Millstone River, NJ

The long and narrow Millstone Valley is the flood plain of the Millstone River and its many tributaries. This scenic area was home to the Lenni Lenape people before European settlers arrived in the late 1600s and early 1700s. The river itself served as an early means of transportation as did Indian trails, which both paralleled and crossed the river.

The Millstone River shaped the movement of troops during the revolutionary war, and the canal allowed for later navigation. Today recreational activities, such as kayaking, lie among the river's uses.
