As far as natives go, I start hearing the southern accent in Delaware, just over the NJ border.

Way back in the 70s I was working in the Arctic on a construction project. Our superintendent was this huge native man from Oklahoma. That was the furthest north I have heard a southern accent. In fact it's the furthest north I have ever been. The next stop was the north pole.

Aside from Southerners visiting Northern cities or African Americans? Cleveland or Detroit, via the Hillbilly Highway.

Yeah, the Rust Belt gives you a bit of everything. You can hear southern accents and Ebonics while pumping gas in Cleveland. Lol.

Southern New Jersey. A number of years ago while on the Cape May-Lewes Ferry, I sat near two men who were speaking with a mild yet discernible Southern accent. I assumed that they were visiting the area. As it turned out, they were from Cumberland County.
