Written Directions

We followed 26 up from Marietta, OH. Left 26 at Rt 800 in Woodsfield because it was getting dark. Rt. 800 is also nice!

Scenery

This route travels through beautiful southeast Ohio hilly scenery and includes several nice Cliffside areas as the road follows a nice river. Beautiful covered bridges along the south of this road.

Drive Enjoyment

You'll travel through some very nice "S-curve" elevations. Some curves are decreasing radius so be careful! VERY CURVY! I have ridden Rt 555, and 536. This road is similar to 555 without gravel. I fully enjoyed this road as I could lean down without the fear of a heap of gravel in the turn apex like 555. Very light traffic like 555 also.

Tourism Opportunities

There is NO cell phone coverage on this road. Even in some towns I was not able to get any calls out with Verizon or T-Mobile. Fill up near Woodsfield.

Rode down 26 in July, it's beautiful, It's like riding through Virgina, with the curves and covered bridges and cliffs that hang out over your head; recently portions of the roadway were re-surfaced, great ride!

I road route Sep 24th, 2018, This road is scenic and challenging.
About half of it is newer pavement and the northernmost part is still in good shape.
Speed limit is generally 55 MPH and I've NEVER seen police speed traps on it.
Some roads repairs in the Wayne National Forest, but traffic is maintained.

Took the road north on 6/25/2018 out of Marietta. There is construction going on (I think the sign said for the next 40 days), and you are detoured up Rt. 260 to Rt. 537. The ride on 260 and 537 was less than fun, the roads are not paved in some places and in others it's washed away. When you pick Rt. 26 back up then it's smooth sailing.
