About
It’s no secret – the geography and scenery of Northeast Tennessee wouldn’t be the same without several man-made lakes. The Long Dam Ride leads you through gorges, past rocky cliffs, mountain streams, tranquil lakes, unique sites, and miles of roller-coaster dips and rural charm.
The road
Long Dam Ride in Johnson City, Southeast is graded at 548 corners, about 4.9 for every mile you drive. 85 of them are genuinely tight (16% of the road), and the sharpest turns in at an 11 m radius. The longest straight runs 2.7 miles, so there is room to breathe between the technical sections.
