context_page_description: National Park Route 615 is a route through the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. The route consists of two parts, County Route 615, maintained by Sussex County, New Jersey, and the remainder of the route, maintained by the National Park Service.
  County Route 615 is a short county highway in Sussex County, New Jersey. It is 0.70 miles long from the intersection of Bridge Road, and Walpack Road running north to the fork with Bevans Road, entirely within Sandyston Township.
  Official maps from both the New Jersey Department of Transportation and Sussex County list the termini of the route at the above points, but some maps suggest the route is much longer, extending as far as County Route 560 in the north, and as far as the Warren County line on Old Mine Road in the south.
  Route 615 south of that is maintained by the National Park Service as it travels through the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area for 11 miles. The section is known as National Park Service Route 615.
context_section_description: National Park Service Route 615 begins at the Warren and Sussex County line south of Flatbrookville, New Jersey. Route 615 heads northward through the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area along the alignment of the Old Mine Road until the intersection with Flatbrook-Stillwater Road, where the highway heads to the north. The route soon enters the small community of Flatbrookville, New Jersey (now maintained by the National Park Service), winding through woodlands as a two-lane asphalt highway. A short distance later, Route 615 cross the Flat Brook and turn to the northeast along Walpack Road, paralleling the Flat Brook for several miles. Eventually, the Flat Brook recedes to the southeast, and the highway makes a curve to the northeast through the rural farmlands for several miles. Soon the Flat Brook does return along Route 615 and intersecting with Haneys Mill Road, a dirt road, where the highway turns further northeast along Walpack. The highway continues down the Flat Brook Valley, passing a local RV park before heading northbound through woodlands, where it curves to the north. 
  At the intersection with Pompey Road, Route 615 turns along Sandyston-Flatbrookville Road, passing the Walpack Inn and another RV park before entering the community of Walpack Center. In Walpack Center, Route 615 passes the nearby Ranger Station and enters the small community, passing the post office at the intersection with Main Street. After leaving Walpack Center, the highway continues northward through fields and sparse housing for several miles. Soon, the ROW of Fish & Game Road merges in with Route 615, where the route turns to the northeast and east. At the intersection with Bridge Road, National Park Service Route 615 turns to the north and heads through forestry before passing nearby houses. At that point, National Park Service Route 615 enters the community of Peters Valley (formerly Bevans), where the maintenance of Route 615 turns over to Sussex County at Kuhn Road.
