Rode the Devil’s Triangle a few weeks ago. Awesome route but not suitable for novice riders. 100% focus required with very little room for error. I also don't recommend doing this route after you have completed a long ride and are possibly tired.......a minor mistake could be costly.

This route is the Tail of the Dragon and the Back of the Dragon combined on steroids. Fortyfour miles of you better know what you are doing!!!!

I experienced spotty cellphone service on the route, and there was gravel in a couple of spots, so definitely be careful.

Looking forward to doing it again on my Harley.

More history and background:

The Devils Triangle, just north of Oak Ridge (TN) in the mountains of the Cumberland Plateau, is made up of some of the most unusual twolane twisty roads in Tennessee. There is a lot of history in the area. It has seen boom and bust, dreadful mining disasters and some historical prisoners at Brushy Mountain which is now a great tourist stop open seven days a week.

This 44mile loop includes TN 62, TN 116 and TN 330. The interesting sections are on TN 116. The western most fun begins at Brushy Mountain Penitentiary and continues northeasterly for 3.5 miles. The tight twisties are as good as the Tail of the Dragon but there are even more dangers here; deep rockstrewn gullies just off the pavement, ragged, rusty steel guard rails, steep drop offs and rock cliffs leave no room for error. The middle 14 miles are fairly tame with rural houses and driveways along the entire way. Watch out for kids on ATVs.

The next 5 miles on TN 116 you'll find a little bit of everything; sweepers, tight twisties and three of the tightest/steepest switchbacks we have ever encountered. This is the main reason we advise riders to take the loop in a clockwise direction. These switchbacks are much easier to tackle in the downhill direction.

Yes, the Triangle will get your attention in a hurry. This is no place for the beginning rider.
