Favorite Local Roads

[jaxmini]

Greetings MINICCI,

This may have been done but I can't find much along these lines.

Let's share some of our favorite roads to drive in Indiana! Go to Google, enter the road, and link it!

This is my favorite road I have driven for about 17 years. Great spots for camping on the lake nearby. The map I posted is strictly a paved road. You could continue back to 46 but it is all gravel ;D

my advice would be turn around at the boat ramp but you could go about a mile further before the pavement ends. (lots of deer at night btw)

This is a great area (beautiful, hilly, twisties) so go out there and find some other roads that are MINI friendly and come back to post!

Old State Road 37 is nice also. It is not really twisties, more like bends but still fun! Griffy Resevoir is a great place to take the dogs, hike, fish, swim? canoe. I can't wait to make it south. Hope to find some roads on the north end of the city soon!!

I really like Old 37, nice pavement, nice wooded area, nice curves.

lil update. the Road out to the lake by TC Steele is a bit in disrepair. I hadn't been on it in about 5 years. It is ok but not in nearly as good of shape as it used to be. Still a fun road though. This state is hurting for some actual twisties dang!

Hi! Not sure if I am linking this correctly, but this is one of our favorite twistie roads. Get to IN 160 your favorite way - back roads or down 65 to Henryville then west to start at Blue River Rd. , then just head south. All paved, very fun, and you can end up at IN 60 to Huber winery :-)

I like driving state road 39 between Monrovia and 67. Speed limits are fairly high for a windy road and my mini devours them :-).
maps.google.com/maps?f=d&sour...,0.220757&z=12
Becareful at the end though you can get airborne or squirrelly over the last big rise near 67. It drops into a turn after the rise I recommend driving it once first before giving it the marbles. Let me know if you wanna go for a drive sometime!!! Enjoy and Motor on!!!





P.S. Avoid 39 between US 40 and I-70 construction detour is on Non Mini Friendly farm roads!!

Cartersburg Rd from Danville to US 40 is a nice drive, too

[shalleck]

229 from just west of Metamora to Batesville. As long as you don't get caught behind slow moving traffic!

[toadgolf]

Indiana SR 135 from SR 46 to US 50 is one of my favorites!

[shalleck]

Not a local road, but if you are ever in the Hocking Hills region of Ohio, be sure to take the loop through the park! It's about 35 miles southeast of Columbus on US 33. Take SR 664 at Logan to SR 374 back up to 33 at Rockport. Non stop twisties and very smooth...It gets busy on weekends. If you are driving towards evening, watch out for deer and wild turkeys in the road! If you like hiking around 200 foot cliffs, there are lots of good trails there.
