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!

road this in sept of 09. took my car, a mazda rx7. rt 26 has some very nice curves, mostly 40 - 60 mph. only problem is the pavement needs frenshened up in some spots. 26 runs through multiple counties and every county appears to be responsible for their section as the road as road quailtiy changes when you see a county line sign. with that said i would hesistate to go this way on my sportbike if i was looking for some hard riding but it would be ok for scenic slow ride.

There is no state route "555" in Monroe County. There is, however, SR "255" off of SR 800 south of woodsfield. I'm sure that is what the author is referring to. 536 is not for the faint of heart, neither is 556 out of Beallsville to SR 7.
