The Trace (Through the Land Between the Lakes) - By rtcoker

A great ride through nature. Fairly flat, mostly meadows or pine forests. Some of the cross roads are worth a foray over to either lake shore. There is a bison preserve near the southern end, but motorcycles are NOT allowed!. You might be lucky and see them if they roam out by the fence along the main higway. Stop by either Barkely or Kentucky Dam for a tour (free). The rating I gave is more for the scenery and the peaceful quiet ride, than for twisties or sweepers or anything challenging.
