Written Directions

Start in Edom, TX which is about 15 miles west of Tyler, TX. From Edom, simply head south on Route 314. The scenic part of Route 314 starts in Edom and travels south, ending at Route 315. Then continue on south on Route 315, which is also scenic into the ride's end point of Palestine. Note: You can also pick up 314 south off of I-20, but it does not get scenic until Edom.

Scenery

Mixture of heavily wooded, and rolling farm pastures. Keep an eye out for deer in the fall. This ride also passes by Lake Palestine.

Drive Enjoyment

Road surface very good. Very little traffic. Lots of slow sweepers and tighter turns, mixed in with nice east Texas hills

Tourism Opportunities

Some roadside historical markers. Hwys. travel through a couple of small towns with gas stations. The route starts in Edom and ends in Palestine, and both have diners, etc. If you are looking for a short trip to plan around a breakfast or lunch run, this is great road.

I've started several times to recommend this road myself. It is a great ride. Lots of MC groups come over from the Dallas/Ft. Worth area to eat at The Shed Cafe in Edom.

Beautiful ride through the Piney woods of East Texas. Nice smooth curves, light traffic great scenery. Rode this ride several times different times of the year and it was just as pretty each time.
