For larger hotels, travelers will find additional options around Clinton and Lebanon to the southeast. Those properties are outside Milford Borough.
Parking
Bridge Street has posted time limits; borough code generally establishes a two-hour limit during daytime hours except Sundays and public holidays. Municipal parking areas are available off Bridge Street, and overnight municipal-lot parking requires a permit. Always follow current signs and borough rules at the space where you park.
Nearby outdoor destination
Milford Bluffs is nearby, not inside Milford Borough. The Thomas F. Breden Preserve at Milford Bluffs is in Holland Township despite its close association with Milford and its Milford mailing area. It is a worthwhile regional nature destination, but NJTGO keeps the municipal distinction clear.
Plan a river-town day
Milford pairs naturally with nearby Frenchtown, Holland Township countryside and Upper Black Eddy, Pennsylvania, while still offering enough dining, history and local character for its own stop.
