Written Directions

The eastern end of route 556 is located in Beallsville and the western end is in the town of Clarington. Clarington is located on the Ohio river about 28 miles south of I-70.

Scenery

Beautiful Southeastern Ohio farm country, nice rolling hills, well kept farms and forest.

Drive Enjoyment

Another excellent S.E.O. roller coaster! It baffles me how this road gets so little mention on forums considering its close proximity to 536 (known as "The Ohio Cousin of the Tail of the Dragon"). Plenty of elevation changes, a wide variety of turns and good pavement makes for one enjoyable ride. 556 is connected to 536 on the east by route 7 and on the west by route 26,making one of the best loops a curve hunting ride could find.

Tourism Opportunities

Like 536, there isn't much here except plenty of excellent riding..

I rode the along with hwy 536 and 800. Both 800 and 556 were far more fun than the 536. This was my first serious twisty road so I don't have anything to compare it too. However it was a lot of fun, and I only wish it didn't end so soon lol.

It's true. 536 gets all of the glory and people ride right by this one. Surely it's not even close to as twisty, but on two wheels in can potentially be more fun, because every time I've been on this it's been clean and clear. (After about 2014, that is.) Now, granted this road has more traffic. So if speed matters keep your fingers crossed, but if putzing around is good enough it's a good road for that, too. Very underrated road.
