Back Roads of Indiana & Kentucky: Central Ohio to Lexington, KY

Qualifier for these routes!

The following routes were developed over years of biking in Indiana and now Kentucky. The majority of the routes are on rural paved roads with minimal secondary highways to connect the county roads. Using these routes you'll almost always find that the distances between two points is more than taking a highway however the scenery is almost always better as well as lower traffic. Hopefully you'll enjoy the great cycling in Indiana or Kentucky and if possible provide feedback on your trip.

I am not making any recommendations nor can I say that these routes are free from road hazards or dangers from traffic. Users of these routes will find them scenic and remote however only the user can assure they are safe on any public road.

Central Ohio to Lexington, KY

Cyclists heading South on the Little Miami Trail from Springfield/Xenia can pick up my Morrow OH to Agusta Kentucky route which uses the Jenny Anne ferry to cross the Ohio River from Higginsport Ohio to Augusta Kentucky. From there use my Augusta to Lexington route for a scenic ride through North Central Kentucky. Cyclists coming from Indiana can use my Lafayette Indiana to Cincinnati area route which connects to the Little Miami Trail just West of Morrow.

I'm a retired project manager with the love of bicycling. Over the past 30+ years I have assembled county maps of Indiana that shows paved roads and suggested routes for the cyclists. These routes were researched and ridden by me and several close friends over the years. I continue to add to the selected routes and encourage cyclists to get out and enjoy the great scenery and roads of Indiana and Kentucky. It's not all corn fields with checkerboard roads as many suspect of the midwest states. Follow along the blog and choose one of the routes for a great summer weekend.
