Pennsylvania Route 739 is a Pennsylvania highway contained entirely within Pike County, Pennsylvania. It was signed in 1967, and runs for almost 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. (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. This area south of Route 209 is now used by Quadrant Route 2019.
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.
