Pennsylvania Route 739 is a Pennsylvania highway contained entirely within Pike County, Pennsylvania. It was signed in 1967, and runs for 19 miles. Its northern terminus is at U.S. Route 6 in Blooming Grove, running south to U.S. Route 209 in Delaware Township. (There is some confusion regarding the official southern terminus of the highway. PA 739's southern end marker was previously at the Dingman's Ferry Bridge, formally ending at the New Jersey state line over the Delaware River at Layton, New Jersey at County Route 560. It was moved back approximately .7 miles to the present location. (See "Southern Terminus Confusion" below.)

Travelling northward from the southern terminus, the highway passes through the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. The highway also contains the Route 739 Business District.

[edit] Southern Terminus Confusion

The southern terminus of Route 739 is unclear. A sign marking the end of the southbound route is in place near the junction with U.S. Route 209. However, after entering Pennsylvania via the Dingman's Ferry Bridge, there is a marker in place immediately after the bridge signing the road as northbound 739. This leads to some confusion as to what the piece of road in the southbound lane in between US 209 and the state line at New Jersey's Sussex County Route 560 is. It is signed as Quadrant Route 2019, though most likely only for official PennDOT purposes.
