Here
you'll see a variety of farms, woods and gently rolling
hills.
Motorcycle
Road Quality:
This
road is a smooth road and in very good condition with a
few twists and hills especially in Tennessee before coming
to the Alabama border. A good route to then catch the famous
Natchez Trace Parkway.
The road gets flat and straight just before arriving in
Florence, Alabama.
Motorcycle
Roadside Amenities:
Savannah,
Tennessee and Florence, Alabama offer a number of restaurants,
motels and B/Bs The Florence area has the famous Helen Keller
museum, North Alabama University, and the Tennessee River
and dam. Not too far away is the motorcycle rally in Waterloo
Alabama in September. Many of the locals are very respectful
to motorcyclists and will often give a friendly southern
hospitality wave to say hello.
Directions:
Start
your ride in Savannah
Tennessee (about 90 miles east of Memphis). From Savannah
take HWY 69 south and cross into Alabama at which point
the road turns into HWY 20. Take Hwy 20 all the way in
to Florence,
Alabama.
*
Note, about 8 miles before you roll into Florence, HWY
20 crosses the Natchez Trace Parkway. That road is worthy
to ride on too especially with the view of the Tennessee
River. So after you hit Florence, you might turn around
and head back up to Natchez Trace and take that in either
direction.

love to ride the trace, hope to ride it all someday. found it by accident one year on my birthday. everyone who likes a quite sobering ride should go there!!!
The best Bar-B-Que you've ever tasted awaits you on this route! It's located off Hwy 69, 4-5 miles south of Savannah Airport. It is located at the intersection of Brunton Road and Pyburns Drive. It's not much to look at on the outside, just a gas station with a small convenience store located at a 4-way stop out in the country. But this is the home of the best Q I have ever eaten! Look for the roadside directing you to Brunton Branch State Park Camping Area. Happy Eating!!!
