The Atlas/Tennessee/Baby Dragon (TN-232)

Baby Dragon (TN-232)

TN-232, nicknamed the Baby Dragon, is a 12-mile rural highway in Stewart County in northwestern Tennessee that runs south from its junction with US-79 near Dover to TN-147. The road is roughly 75 percent tree-canopied hardwood forest, with long sweeping curves, small bridge crossings over attractive creeks, and pastoral farmland flanking the bends. Unlike the technical hairpins of the East Tennessee roads, the Baby Dragon offers accessible sweepers with good sightlines — an appealing ride for those exploring the Land Between the Lakes region or using Dover as a base for Middle Tennessee loops. A vintage Civil War iron furnace sits along the route.

Calderwood Dam Overlook
Tennessee
The Calderwood Dam Overlook is a pull-off on US-129 in Tallassee, Tennessee, positioned at the northern (Tennessee) end of the Tail of the Dragon. From the overlook, riders look south into the gorge of the Little Tennessee River at the circa-1930 Calderwood hydroelectric dam and reservoir, backed by ridges of the Great Smoky Mountains. It is a common regrouping point where riders finishing the Dragon's 318-curve, 11-mile stretch pull over to share accounts of the run or turn around for another pass.

Cherohala Skyway Visitor Center
Tennessee
The official Cherohala Skyway Visitor Center sits at 225 Cherohala Skyway in Tellico Plains, TN, open daily 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Staff provide free route maps, current road and weather conditions, campsite reservations, and local attraction recommendations. Clean restrooms and picnic tables are on site. The center marks the formal beginning of the 43-mile National Scenic Byway that climbs from roughly 930 feet near Tellico Plains to over 5,400 feet at the Tennessee–North Carolina state line, and it regularly draws motorcyclists seeking current conditions before committing to the high-elevation route.
