Written Directions

This trip is very easy to explain. Just start in the town of Garfield, OH (near Salem, OH) and head north on Rt 534 all the way up to Geneva on-the-Lake.

Scenery

Great scenery small towns with great people. County with the most covered bridges in Ohio ... a camera is a necessity! Mike Tyson's old training camp is located on this ride.

Drive Enjoyment

All 2 lane roads but not much for turns. Scenery makes up for it.

Tourism Opportunities

This trip is pretty straight riding all on 534. Lots of small towns and watering holes. Plenty of gas stations.

There is a nice hotel at 80 and 534 cross roads as I don't recommend staying at Geneva hotels. Plenty of things to do with the Geneva night life. Live bands are a summer attraction. Plenty of hotels, bars and good spots to eat. Camping if your so inclined.

I'm lucky enough to live relatively close to this route. It's a great ride for novice riders with lots of beautiful scenery.

I live in Geneva, and have traveled most of this route as part of life. Everything here is right good, if you are looking for a nice place to stay close to GOTL take I 90 East from 534 just before Geneva, and go to the next exit, Austinburg SR 45. There are 3 good hotels, (sleep in, hampton inn, comfort in).

As mentioned before this route has few curves in it and if that's OK with you the scenery is what you get. Amish and Mennonite farms North of 88 create some interesting smells and there are road apples to dodge. Mostly flat and the day I rode it the wind was gusting up to about 25 MPH and blowing me around a bit, and my bike weighs over 900 lbs. Geneva on the Lake businesses were closed due to COVID-19 but the snail pace , 10 to 15 MPH, traffic for a few miles was aggravating. I won't be riding this one again.
