Written Directions

The best way to get started on this route is to find the small Ohio town of Thornville which is about 30 miles east of Columbus, Ohio off of I-70's exit 132 which puts you on state route 13. From Thornville, head south on county road 4 till it T's at state route 256. Take a right or west for just about 1/4 mile and you'll find state route 664 on the left (the real starting point). Take a left at 664 (head south) and now you just stay on this route for about 35 miles till you reach the small town of South Bloomingville and route 56.

Scenery

Ride the crest of some of southeast Ohio's nicest hills. The route takes you along a creek part of the way, and then you get to ride crests of hills.

Drive Enjoyment

Mostly good road tops, but as with all Ohio roads, winter exacts a cost in crumbling and potholes.

Tourism Opportunities

Not really much here in terms of roadside amenitities but its not that long of a drive. You will however pass through Hocking State Park which offers lodges, camping, hiking, picknicking, fishing, swiming and other "great outdoors" type activities.

Great little road. I live 10 miles from it and love the short ride. Its a nice back way to Nelsonville. As of June 2014, its just been repaved and is as smooth as a state route can be.

this is a beautiful spring ride, there are quite a few amish farms along this route around the bremen area to the north where you get on.

This is a fun road, but parts are heavily trafficked by the two million Hocking Hills visitors each year. Combine that with narrow roads, hikers walking on the berms, and shear cliffs on either side, and it can be a dangerous road. I avoid it at all costs...have seen too many fatal accidents to venture here often.
