Written Directions

Start in Edom, TX which is about 15 miles west of Tyler, TX. From Edom, simply head south on Route 314. The scenic part of Route 314 starts in Edom and travels south, ending at Route 315. Then continue on south on Route 315, which is also scenic into the ride's end point of Palestine. Note: You can also pick up 314 south off of I-20, but it does not get scenic until Edom.

Scenery

Mixture of heavily wooded, and rolling farm pastures. Keep an eye out for deer in the fall. This ride also passes by Lake Palestine.

Drive Enjoyment

Road surface very good. Very little traffic. Lots of slow sweepers and tighter turns, mixed in with nice east Texas hills

Tourism Opportunities

Some roadside historical markers. Hwys. travel through a couple of small towns with gas stations. The route starts in Edom and ends in Palestine, and both have diners, etc. If you are looking for a short trip to plan around a breakfast or lunch run, this is great road.

You gotta stop at the SHED Restaurant in Edom for the best red beans and cornbread that ever slid past your lips. Miss Gloria will make sure you get fed at the Shed.

This is a very nice short ride. I started taking Hwy 155 N. out of Palestine to Hwy 315. The ride on 315 is very nice. Lot of good curves and a lot of canopy road to ride on. Took Hwy 314 in to Edom. A lot of good curves and the road is in great shape. Always a good meal at The Shed in Edom.

Fun ride! Lots of sweepers and some great straights that go over hills. Plenty of elevation changes and it does get tight through Ponroy. You'll see many other motorcyclists along this route, too. I live about 5 minutes from Edom, it's one of those small towns with a single blinking red light but has several "touristy" shops, events, etc and you can't go wrong with a meal at The Shed. I recommend this ride highly but just watch for slow farm traffic in the communities along the way.
