Submitted By: Eric Draper

Motorcycle Road Length: 30 Miles

Motorcycle Road Scenery:

Along this lovely little route I traveled the other day, there are many interesting sights to see. Some of these include rivers and marshy areas, waterfalls, a large lake (Seneca Lake), steep rocky cliffs and if you are lucky some wildlife … I saw some deer

Motorcycle Road Quality:

The path has many twists and turns and only an occasional rough spot. Unfortunately there is some road construction right now (Jul 05) so that is a minus. Over all I greatly enjoyed my ride and think that you will to if you give this one a try.

Motorcycle Roadside Amenities:

This route lies on the way to Watkins Glen State Park. You can fish, swim at the park, camp, and boat if you are with a party that has access to one. Also several restaurants dot the way and once in Watkins Glen you can go to the racetrack.

Directions:

Start your route in the town of Horseheads, NY and simply take Route 14 up to Watkins Glenn, NY … 15 miles one way. Turn around and head back to make it a nice 30 mile roundtrip.

The ride up over the hill between Watkins Glen and Ithaca on route 79 is quite interesting too. You could make a loop out of it by taking route 13 back to Horseheads.
