I was inspired by my evening commute to write a post about what I consider to be one of the most beautiful country roads in New Jersey...
There are some roads that are worth going out of one's way, even taking the longer route if necessary, just for the experience of driving down it;
Country Route 537 is one such road. Whatever the season, whatever the conditions, it always feels like a piece of heaven. I only use the10 miles between Freehold township and Eatontown in Monmouth County but even that little bit is enough to soothe my soul and give me renewed energy. The drive goes through
Colts Neck township passing large farmsteads, orchards with row upon row of fruit trees and horse farms with five star facilities... for equines. The biggest appeal of this country road is probably the charm of another era it still has not lost even after so much residential developing.
For anyone in the Tri-State area, interested in taking a nice drive on a beautiful weekend, Rt 537 in Monmouth County offers a nice day-trip with plenty of diversions along the way.
