Best Route from Detroit to the Smokies

I've ridden down twice from the Detroit area to the Smokies, and I-75 is probably the most boring 600 mile drone to take to Knoxville. Anybody from the Midwest area know the best or most scenic route to take to the Smoky Mountains area from Detroit? Does 23(S) go all the way? I plan to ride down next spring/summer, and would hate to do the I-75 route again. I do not have a trailer.

I've also heard that roads in S.E Ohio are pretty good too. Anybody know of some good routes there? I can stop by Columbus and hit some roads there.

Here's The Route We Took.....

We originated in Dayton OH and planned a 2-day trip down and 1-day coming back. We stayed just outside of Gatlinburg in a cabin. We didn't do any SE OH but we did do a lot of SE KY down to western VA into TN. If you want to include a good long SE OH route I suggest Rt 555 thst starts just south of Zanesville. Very challenging that road has lots of tight turns and hills and has claimed several of my riding buddies. WV has even nicer roads if you care to travel that far east on your journey. Here is the route we took to Deal's Gap. Let me know if you want some suggested roads in WV, I'll dig them out.

Peace

Going to TN

35E to 41SE to 73SE to 104S to 23SE to KY

7S to 699S to 463SE to 160SE to VA

68SW to 606SW to 421SE to 58SW to 70SE to TN

321SW to 32 SW to 321SW to R on Buckhorn Rd

to Heritage Hollow on left 1-800-359-6117

Return

321NE to 32N to 40NW to 81N to 25E(N) to KY

66N to 11N to 52NW to 213N to 460NW to 11N to 8W to 41N

763N to 125W to 134N to 68N to 35W
or Option
52W/68N to 68N to 35W
