dsm_sleeper Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Before I say that Columbus has a shortage of fun/scenic roads I thought I ask first. So...where are the fun roads around Columbus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 There is a pretty good twisty road down this way (GC) Off of RT 62 by Harrisburg, Ohio. Hills, turns etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodRed Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 I always have fun driving out to Old Man's Cave when you turn off the highway. Also the drive out 62 to the Amish country if fun once you get out of Martinsburg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Sawyer Rd through the airport is always fun. Roads around airports are generally fun for some reason. Also roads just northeast of polaris are great, look around google earth to see what you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Abuse Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Get on Riverside Drive, drive it from Home road north to St Rt 37. The road name changes a few times, but just stay on it and enjoy. Take 315N past 270 and it starts getting good. Yessir, and dont forget the side roads. Bel Aire is a speed trap, though. http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/1430/loop1qf9.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 If you're crazy, as many of you remember me to be, I submit "The Concrete Canyon": http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/6105/loop1ez1.png Just under 7 miles, I beleive my record is around 6 minutes. It's been a long time. DO IT COUNTER CLOCKWISE, the expansion joints are murder in the other direction. Do it at 2am and tell your family that you love them before you go. If you do it a reasonable speed, it's a good way to see the town. The greatest rush in columbus driving; flat out under high street. I've only mustered a hair over 140 through here. Again, don't do this, it's a real bad idea, I'll never do it again. Traffic joins the highway here. http://img124.imageshack.us/img124/5882/loop1gt8.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsm_sleeper Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Take 315N past 270 and it starts getting good. That's probably the best one that I've found. There's usually traffic when I'm on it though. I've hear that the roads in the south (Old Man's Cave) are some of the best but I was hoping for something that's right around Columbus.

El Karacho1647545492 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 just take morse road all the way out to granville on a summer night around 2am...you gotta watch out for deer sometimes, but for the most part its fun and its a cool cruise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 There are no truly fun roads around here. If you want to have some fun, find a map and look around southeast ohio, and pick a route at random. You will have fun. None of these straight highways that everyone is mentioning. Newsflash - 315 has maybe three turns, that I could take at 90 in my old truck, but I can't because there is a cop every mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman88210 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 I dont reccomend any roads in delaware county, ie 315 N. or riverside up to 37. Delaware cops are crazy hardcore. TRUST me, I know this. South and southeast FTW!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptn janks Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 in town there really isnt too much. +1 to southeast ohio. wayne natl forest, sr 78, 555, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In depends on what he means by "fun." 315 gets some good bends further north but it's more a scenic route to me then anything else. If you really want to travel for fun, take 71 towards Cleveland and get off near Ashland. So many twists, turns and hills everywhere all over the countryside and there's rarely a cop to be found.

Mr. Jones Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Hocking Hills > *** I do recommend driving it a bit before you tear around recklessly. There are many places that can surprise you, and end up off the road or in the oncoming traffic's lane once you LAND...... Go ahead..ask me I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 315, though a nice drive, is not always the best. I used to take it when I moved here and still do if I'm headed to the westside. There is actually some real nice and occasionally fun driving if you know where to look. There's quite a few nice little roads NW of Delaware. And being where they are located, you don't come across cops. There's a great section of road (there are a few roads connected but I only remember one of the main ones and that is River Rd.) that runs along the river headed north. A drive I used to like was taking Riverside Dr (in West Columbus - just East of 270 - runs north/south and turns into 257 eventually), anyway, I take it north until you pass the resevoir and it turns into River Rd. Sometimes, you may have to jump on a main road for just a moment and then back on again to get back on river rd. It's taken me a few trips to find the best paths/roads out there, but that should get you started. IT's a gorgeous trip in the spring/summer. I love roads that the trees completely cover. There are also some good curvy spots. It shouldn't disappoint you. Let me know how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98fiveseven1647545503 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 257 in delaware is nice, along with klondike and the other roads along the river in delaware, also some nice back roads up around belfontaine(sp) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
