SR 125 from US 68 to Shawnee

MotorcycleRoads.com to MotorcycleRoads.com

This section of 125 heads east from US 68 just south of Georgetown. Start in Portsmouth, and head west on route 25 through West Union and Russellvile.

The western end begins with rolling hills and farmland with regular dips into and out of small river valleys. East of West Union the hills become steeper and tree lined, with some great distance views from the top of the ridges. At the far east end is Shawnee state park, and a nice ride along a stream thru unspoiled woodland.

Sweepers galore. Good asphalt the entire length. The assent east of Blue Creek has a couple of decreasing radius curves that can surprise you if aren't carefull.

There are numerous gas / snack stops along this route. Wendy's, Big Boy, McDonalds, etc... are available 1 mile south from West Union. Camping, Cabins and a lodge with a restuarant are all available at Shawnee State Park.
