This ride encircles the beautiful Kerr Lake in northern North Carolina and southern Virginia. The route follows lightly used roads along hilly countrysides spotted with small towns and farms. This is a very peaceful ride with low traffic, around this 50,000-acre, man-made lake. The lake is situated in the northeast corner of the Piedmont region with forest-lined shores. The ride crosses the lake at Clarksville and then again at Kerr Dam.
