Written Directions

Not too hard to find. Just south of Zanesville, OH is the very small town of Brush Creek, OH. Just get yourself to Brush Creek and head south on route 555 for about 30 miles till you get to the end point of Chesterhill, OH.

Scenery

Beautiful isolated farms with rolling hills. You'll be driving next to and through some of the Wayne National Forest.

Drive Enjoyment

Lots of very challenging twisties. Roads line the crests of rolling hills ... an amusement park for sport and sport touring bikes. NOT a novice road. One should attempt this road with extreme concentration. Road conditions are fast with little traffic.

Tourism Opportunities

Isolated. You're there for one thing - to ride.

Definitely one of the best motorcycle routes in Ohio! I rode it in the fall of 2008 and brought some friends to ride it again in the summer of 2009. I highly recommend following the whole route from the Ohio river all the way to Zanesville. Lots of twisties and blind curves. Mostly decent asphalt,some gravel but not bad. I couldn't stop grinning the time I was on this road!

I rode this road last week (6-8-2017) and enjoyed it thoroughly! Well worth the 2 Tylenol after for my wrist pain (from twisting the throttle so much). Lots of curves and blind hills...truly not for the novice rider but if taken slowly they can get a RUSH from it too! '-)

When I was a kid, we used to race our bikes through fields of tall grass with paths carved through them. Couldn't tell which way that path was going until you got to the turn. Fantastic fun. Rt. 555 is like that. Worse sight lines I've never seen. Ride it fast for a spirited amusement park of entertainment or wind it back and enjoy the bucolic views, either way, do it on a beautiful day in the fall for the full effect. And when you get to RT676, take a louie and shoot over to Marietta. More of the same with closer in woodlands and faster elevation changes. Southern Ohio Roads ROCK!
