There's something deeply satisfying about exploring the rolling hills and scenic backroads of Ohio's Amish Country by motorcycle. The combination of well-maintained routes, minimal traffic, and breathtaking landscapes makes this region a rider's paradise. Whether you're seeking the thrill of twisty roads or the peaceful charm of rural America, these day trips offer the perfect escape from everyday life. The Triple Nickel: A Rider's Dream Ohio's Route 555 in southeastern Ohio is an often secluded stretch of road. The section from Brush Creek to Chesterhill is affectionately known as the "Triple Nickel" and it has achieved legendary status among motorcyclists in the Midwest. This technical route features tight curves, elevation changes, and blind hills that will challenge and delight riders of all skill levels. The Amish Country Byway: Cultural Immersion For riders seeking both adventure and cultural experiences, the Amish Country Byway delivers on all fronts. With nearly 200 miles of road, the Byway takes riders through the heart of Ohio's Amish settlements, where horse-drawn buggies share the road and time seems to move at a gentler pace. Heading east from Millersburg, you'll encounter gentle curves and open farmland. Make your first stop at Breitenbach Wine Cellars , known for their fruit wines and peaceful garden setting. For a hearty, authentic meal, Mrs. Yoder's Kitchen in Mount Hope serves traditional Amish cooking that will satisfy any rider's appetite. Perhaps the most unique motorcycle-friendly establishment, this traditional Amish restaurant might seem an unlikely biker hangout. Their home-style chicken dinners and freshly baked pies have become legendary among travelers and a mandatory stop for riders exploring the region. Port Washington Road: Historic Adventure For history enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike, the Port Washington Road, Ohio's oldest established route, offers a unique riding experience. The stretch of road meanders through rural farmland and at times the road narrows to what country folks call a pig path – be prepared for a few short sections of gravel. You can start the route just a few miles west of Donna’s Premier Lodging in the town of Millersburg. From there, the Heart of Amish Country adventure passes through New Bedford and Baltic. Some people choose to ride all the way to Port Washington, Ohio. Before hitting the road, enjoy lunch at Bags Sports Pub or Millersburg Brewery in charming downtown Millersburg. On warm days, stop in to Miller's Creamery for homemade ice cream that's worth every calorie—the perfect dessert before your journey begins. End your ride at Baltic Mill Winery , housed in an historic mill building where you can sample wines along the river.

There's something undeniably romantic about Ohio's Amish Country, especially Holmes County.
