Motorcycle Road Quality:

Many miles of tree covered canopy...often meanders alongside a stream...no large towns...scenic vistas when the road follows the crests of the hills in spots.

Motorcycle Roadside Amenities:

Not many towns along the way so amenities are few...a good way to end the ride is to head west on SR 212 a few miles until you see a sign for "Leesville Marina" and follow the side road back to Leesville Lake. There is a Marina there with a patio overlooking the quietest and scenic Leesville Lake .

Directions:

Written directions:

Ohio State Route 164 begins in Youngstown but the best part of the road begins in the village of Lisbon, Columbiana County (which is about 25 miles south-southwest of Youngstown). US 30 passes right through Lisbon in an east-west direction and SR 164 crosses 30 at the main intersection in town. Take 164 SOUTH! Road is well marked but be alert for many turns at intersections in various towns/villages and crossroads along the way. SR 164 terminates at SR 212 in the town of Leesville, Ohio but if you go west on 212 a few miles is a quiet lake with a marina and if you go east on 212 and south on SR 151 then east on US 250 to Tappan Lake and the Marina there. Good restaurant...get the Captain's Burger and an order of fries.....*wink*.

NOTE: One final caution...especially for my fellow riders that like to ride
hard and fast this road is NOT good for that. Many, many blind curves with limited sight lines...this road is very safe ridden leisurely and with a little more
attention to these curves.

When in the mood for scenic rides, I use 164 to get South down around Bergholtz. There are MANY remote back roads around Bergholtz that will show you some AWESOME scenery. There is one magnificent spot that brings those distant rolling hills scenes within about 15 feet of you!! Puts a hillside forest right in your LAP. I'll have to get exact directions for some of the back routes and post them on here.

164 from lisbon to rt. 212 near scio is to be treated with respect. this road can and will hurt the reckless and foolish. this was a stagecoach run in the days before cars. make sure the bike has gas, there are very few places to stop and fill up. also watch for critters and possible gravel in the corners. it's a real piece of work to ride fast, but u better know what yer doin; this road wont forgive a major mistake.
