Road Quality:
I
call this road the "Dragon" of Northwest Indiana. It's the
twistiest road in Northwest Indiana, and is a far cry
comparing it to Deal's Gap. HOWEVER, this is relative to
our portion of the state. It's a short run (3.5 mi.) but
is worth every minute! Watch out for some gravel in corners.
Not many elevation changes. Definitely a hidden road
and only known to locals... until now. :-)

Roadside Amenities:

I would make this ride longer by starting in LaPorte on lake shore drive. Nice lake views and some curvy road through the parks . The road turns into greenleaf and dumps you onto small road.
There are some other nice roads in the area, this one is pretty short. We swung by here as part of a lager trip to the Indian Casino (FourWinds) in New Buffalo Michigan.
