Written Directions

To start this route you need to get yourself to La Porte, Indiana. From there you need to: 1) Travel west on Hwy 2 from US 35 (La Porte, IN). 2) Turn North on south 500 West at the Pinola Mart gas station. 3) Turn West (left) on "Small" Road. Small Rd will turn into Goldring Road. (Goldring Road is often vandalized to read GoldWing Road.) Suggest you use the online map above and zoom in and out till you get your bearings and figure out the best way for you to get there.

Scenery

Scenery is limited to the wooded area the road was carved through, along with some rural residential areas.

Drive Enjoyment

I call this road the "Dragon" of Northwest Indiana. It's the twistiest road in Northwest Indiana, and is a far cry comparing it to Deal's Gap. HOWEVER, this is relative to our portion of the state. It's a short run (3.5 mi.) but is worth every minute! Watch out for some gravel in corners. Not many elevation changes. Definitely a hidden road and only known to locals... until now. :-)

Tourism Opportunities

Country road... nothing to offer other than a great hidden road.

totally not worth it. I kept waiting for it to get fun and it never did.

If you are a true rider, this road is a BIG let down. Don't even put it in the same breath as the Dragon. Its like riding through a subdivision for a couple miles. Don't even bother going out of your way for this.

Took this road as part of a larger trip. Short road but, very beautiful tree lined street. Easy turns to make, nothing too crazy.
