Rider Comments:

• It’s a beautiful ride. We rode it in the middle of the day in 90+ temps and saw no wildlife, but I can assure you they are there. Take advantage of the side roads that take you to old ferry locations and such by the lakes. Maps are available at the information areas. - 'Wrong_turn_rider' (7/25/10)
• Trace Road through LBL (Land Between the Lakes) is a beautiful ride but as others have said, be very aware that there are more deer there than you can believe. Not just white tails either, they have deer from other countries there as well. Elk, buffalo, turkey and every kind of wild life you can imagine. The planetarium and all of the park's activities, lakes, and sites are something to see. I live local to this area and don't take advantage of it as much as I should, but as I read and see this, it makes me want to take the ride yet again. Ride safe everyone. - Murph (9/14/09)
• Everytime I want to just get away, I head for this road. I love the winding roads. - David Dotson (12/18/08)
• Watch out for deer at night. We saw at least one per mile. Be sure to check out the living history, Buffalo, Elk, and planetarium at the park. - Josh Travis (1/1/08)
• Very good road, we have been on it several times. A lot to look at, but watch out for deer. - Anonymous (9/25/07)
