Scenery

This route includes curvy sections along the Merrimac River and some scenic areas through farmland.

Drive Enjoyment

The road is decent quality with a good amount of curves. Speed limit is pretty low. I don't think it goes over 35 the whole route. Take it easy and enjoy the scenery.

Tourism Opportunities

There's not much along the route itself, but if you continue on to Newburyport after doing this ride there are plenty of restaurants and things to do out there.
