State Route 3, Kentucky

SR 3 in the Eastern Highlands of Kentucky looks like a real winner. A rider from North Carolina describes it as a "Sweet little back road through the mountains, with lots of turns and elevation changes.". It starts in Louisa along the West Virginia state line. It is recommended that you stop at Kentucky's Pavieillon, at the intersection of SR 3 and US 23, which he relates "is a unique combination gas station/ice-cream shop/country music museum (honoring the locals who made it big), with plenty of rocking chairs out front for riders who want to take a cool break on a hot day." Check out the Paveillon's website, I'll think you'll agree.
