This route covers the western portion of Charles County that remains very rural. Great back roads and views of the Potomac River. Some twisties are not for beginner riders.

Great curves but since the area is very rural many roads are paved but surfaces can be rough and/or contain gravel.

Scenery includes St Ignatius Church erected in 1641 its the oldest continuously serving Catholic Parish in the US. The church sits upon a hill giving breath taking views of the Potomac River. The route also passes through Chapel Point state Park and Smallwood State park. Both rich in history. Gas stations are rare once on the route be sure to start out on a full tank and bring your camera!
