Ohio's Dragon's Tail - By ThomSS

Have ridden this stretch of OH-78 several times with the last being on 8/10/19. Currently there is road construction on the bridge over Muskingum River that connects McConnelsville and Malta, down to one lane, read construction should be completed end of October, first of November 2019. If your expecting anything like The Dragon/US-129/Deals Gap, your going to be disappointed, it's nothing like that. However... it's still a great ride! Twisties, banked sweeper, nice scenery. Road surface is in pretty good shape. Boondocks BBQ & Grill about a mile north of McConnelsville on OH-60 is a GREAT place to eat! 78 east of McConnelsville to Cladwell is a nice ride too, takes you right by Big Muskie.
