Pennsylvania Route 739 (PA 739) is a Pennsylvania highway contained entirely within Pike County, Pennsylvania. It was signed in 1967, and runs for 19 miles (31 km). Its northern terminus is at U.S. Route 6 in Blooming Grove, running south to U.S. Route 209 in Delaware Township. PA 739's southern end is at the Dingman's Ferry Bridge at the Delaware River near Layton, New Jersey. It continues as County Route 560 in New Jersey.
Traveling 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. Route 739 runs under the names Dingman's Pike, Glen Eyre Road and Bethany Road.
PA 739 begins at the Dingman's Ferry Bridge, where Sussex County Route 560 ends. The road starts by paying a toll for a bridge, which is manned by hand. It goes through dense forests and meets U.S. Route 209 in Dingmans Ferry. The road then goes north through dense forests. After about 1-mile (1.6 km), Silver Lake Road (SR 2004), leaves to the left. Soon after the intersection with Sproul Road, PA 739 leaves the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.
At milepost 2.45, 739 crosses a traffic light with Quadrant Route 2001, also known as Milford Road. The road continues through the dense forest and passes three of five Dingman Township schools. At 7.40 miles (11.91 km), PA 739 meets up with Quadrant Route 2006 (Log Tavern Road). PA 739 leaves Dingman Township and enters Blooming Grove Township.
