Written Directions
Starting from Oak Ridge, TN, and go west on highway 62 for about 4 miles to the town of Oliver Springs,TN where you want to turn right (north) on to Rt 116/330 and take this up to Lake City where it intersects with I-75.Scenery
Lots of mountain vistas, see Brushy Mountain max security prison and ride through part of Frozen Head State Park.Drive Enjoyment
surface is good, may have some gravel in turns, watch for coal trucks on weekdays, very twisty and mountain grades. Note: Sections of this road have very sharp curves. Be careful!Tourism Opportunities
Aside from a stop for a mountain vista, not much in-between, no entrance along TN 116 into Frozen Head park; eat and gas up at either end.Motorcycle Road Additional info

Your written directions and map are not even close to the Hwy 116 / Brushy Mountain loop. The map you have shown is for Dutch Valley Rd. Not a bad ride through some pretty valley farmland, but is not the mountainous ride you described.

V-Rider is Right--But to make it more interesting, go 62 north and take 116 thru Petros, Braytown,Rosedale, x the river near Stainville and left on to (gravel) Stoney Fork rd. (+/-3mi) to Sheam then Rt. on blacktop & SF/Norma rd. which turns into Tower rd. then into Mountain rd. and goes into Caryville Tn. which is at the foot of the mountain...
Have a good one...Tater...

Rode TN 116 on 7/20/08, north from Petros to Lake City. New pavement just past the prison for the first few miles, then a lot of patches on the N/B side. S/B lane looked pretty good, will try that next time. No place for the faint of heart, if you loose your concentration, you'll be off the side of the mountain.
