Written Directions

Beginning in Union, KY, head south on US-42 toward Old Union Rd. Turn left on Frogtown Rd. Turn right at Dixie Hwy/US-25S; continue to follow US-25S. Turn right at KY-14W. Turn right onto US 42/127 and then left on to Beaver Rd/KY-338N. Continue onto Lower River Rd. You will come to Rabbit Hash General Store. Head east on Lower River Rd toward Rabbit Hash Hill Rd. Turn right at Rabbit Hash Hill Rd. Continue onto E Bend Rd/KY-338N. Turn right at KY-536E/Rabbit Hash Rd. Continue to follow KY-536E and end in Union, KY.

Scenery

This route takes you from Union, KY through Walton, KY, down by the river to Rabbit Hash, KY (directly across the river from Rising Sun, IN), up to Florence, KY. It makes for a great, relaxing ride, with ammeneties at both ends, and a little of nothing in between. It's a nice ride to get away from everything, and the stop at Rabbit Hash General Store is very relaxing. You can get a drink and sit with other bikers (there are always a few there) by the river. The mayor of Rabbit Hash (a dog named Lucy) is always hanging around and loves to play. There is quite a bit of scenery along this route, including farmland and general landscape. Most of it is surrounded by trees on both sides, so it feels like a very intimate ride, but parts of it are more open.

Drive Enjoyment

We didn't encounter any problems along the route. The road was very safe, and we didn't encounter any patches of gravel. It was a very well-maintained road, so no major potholes.

Tourism Opportunities

At the beginning of the trip and at the end of the trip, there are places to get food and gas, but along the route, it is mostly housing and back roads, so very little available. The point of the trip is the stop at Rabbit Hash General Store, though, where you can find lots of drinks, snacks, antiques, and any other items you might need.

I really enjoy the Rabbit Hash ride. I’ve made it many times over the years. I personally try to avoid it on days when there are large group rides because they’ll inevitably disrupt the flow of the ride but nonetheless it’s a must if you’re killing time in Northern KY.

As far as scenery, it's good, the roads, OK, could use a bit more twistys, but Rabbit Hash makes up for any other shortcomings in the ride. It's a quick ride & a quick ride back to Boone County Distillery (on the route) & within the area of all the hustle/ bustle of N. KY & CVG Airport. Rabbit Hash is a step back in time, a biker destination, with a dog for a Mayor. (Yeah, you may want to read that again) Back it in, grab a beer, & meet some new friends.

This route is nice. All of the surrounding roads offer nice twisties. This particular route has a nice mix of twisties, country scenery, hills, and river views. I live in the area and if i only have a 1-2 hrs to ride, i find it quite convenient to take this route and mix in all the sections of roads in between. Pretty technical at times with a unique destination in the middle. Often, bluegrass musicians in the area congregate to jam together in the hall in the evenings from Wednesday through Sunday. This is a free potluck gathering open to anyone and is a special experience! Visit the general store, winery, and antique store for the full experience and don't forget to say hi to the mayor!
