Skyline Drive is a 5-mile long road in Northern New Jersey, between Ringwood and Oakland through Ringwood State Park in the Ramapo Mountains. It is a major route for those in the Ringwood and Wanaque area to get to Interstate 287.

The road offers a spectacular view of the Manhattan skyline, 20 miles away. The steep and narrow road is often impassable in winter due to ice and snow.

As of April 1, 2001, the New Jersey Department of Transportation imposed a ban on trucks exceeding 10 tons from using Skyline Drive. This ban follows an incident in December 2000, in which three Ringwood residents were killed by a 40-ton dump truck that had lost control on the roadway[1].
