Gettysburg to Cherry hill Washington, D.C.

Looking for a nice easy route from Gettysburg to Cherry hill park. Do not want to travel interstates. Would rather stay on US or State highways. Will be pulling 5er so need to be aware if any low clearances.

Will be traveling latter part of September.

Thanks in advance. :)
  • If you really want to avoid interstates, the directions below will allow you to do so. The route is slower and takes you through a number of towns, however the road is/was good the whole trip. I've used this route a number of times when we lived in the area.
