Written Directions

Directions for this route are very simple. From Hannibal MO just take 79 south along the Mississippi river and all the way to Louisiana MO.

Scenery

This route hugs the banks of the Mississippi river and offers a very nice country setting with park like wooded areas and a couple spectacular vistas of the mighty Mississippi.

Drive Enjoyment

Very well paved with light traffic and twisty. 35 and 45 mph signed turns abound. One of the best cycle roads I have EVER traveled!!!

Tourism Opportunities

Its a short route 30 some miles and we were having too much fun to stop. There are plenty of amenities in Hannibal and at least 1 roadside scenic overlook along the way. Overall this isn't a road you take because of the things along the road ... you take it for the road and the scenery!

Highway 79 between Hannibal and Louisana has been CLOSED because of the road landsliding near the salt river and will NOT reopen in 2011. I live in Hannibal and the proposed new route for the highway will lose some of the best milage.

From Hannibal to Louisiana is a great ride in itself, I extended this onto Elsberry and then to MO W, onto KK into Troy. Had a great ride that day.

Best short segment ride in this area. Twisty, hilly, great views of the river, interspersed with pleasant valleys and small farms. Very little traffic, roads are good but watch for gravel in the corners.
