Written Directions

Start your tour of OH-7 just outside East Liverpool. Take 7 south as it hugs the Ohio River all the way down to Wheeling, OH.

Scenery

This route follows the north end of the Ohio River on the Ohio side. It is right on the outer edge of the Appalachians so the area is rather mountainous. The view on both sides of the road is beautiful and there are many neat towns you might want to stop in along the way. some of the towns along this route are home to famous people including: Dean Martin, Bill Mazeroski, and Lou Groza. This route is very fascinating and is a good day road trip.

Drive Enjoyment

This is a very well kept road. There were some areas where it was forced to one lane going south do to the mountains having falling rock.

Tourism Opportunities

With all the towns along the road there are plenty of stopoffs, restaurants, and public restrooms. If you need a bite to eat there is a Mickey D's in nearly every town.

This ride is, indeed, pretty damned boring. It would be better if you could actually see the river as you took the road, but often it's not even that visible, like it is around Hannibal, Sardis, Fly and Matamoras. There's just businesses, homes, parking lots and land in the way. I can only imagine how easily someone is amused that they put this route up on here. There's a whole host of more entertaining, and scenic, roads in the area.

Scenic Route 7 is NOT very "scenic". Constant lane closures due to road work (or lack of it), lots of truck traffic, speed traps, and just generally a boring ride. I'd skip this one. The only reason I ride it at all is because I live just off it.
