Scenery

A beautiful drive riding the Mississippi river levee. No amenities whatsoever, but no traffic. Beautiful fields, woods, long bridges, views of river lakes and locks.

Road Quality

Pretty much nothing from Lettsworth (Simmesport) to Vidalia (across river from Natchez). Take this ride for the scenery and unique road conditions … not roadside amenities! The roadside amenities come into play when you get to Vidalia and cross the Mississippi River to head into Natchez, MS ... there you'll find plenty to do.

Roadside Amenities

Near perfect blacktop surface, wide, smooth and curvy. Many tight curves riding up and then off the levee.

Comment: Road has good surface and offers relaxing ride.. It does tend to get a little boring after a while.. Scenery is much better when the cotton fields that line the Hwy are in bloom.. Passing over the Old River Control Structures is pretty cool when you consider that they are keeping the Mississippi River from changing course!

Comment: Easy simple ride with very few twists/turns. NOT exciting , but road is well kept. Mississippi River in background a few times , not much to look at

Comment: nice road, good senery when there is foilage but to say it is a five for road I would have to argue with Judge. It is long and boring but good for a slow days relaxation. No excitement to be had here, even on my goldwing, I would rate it 3 or 4 on road.
