No one knows the best hidden, winding, scenic roads like a Corvette owner. We got eight local Corvette clubs to spill their secrets when it comes to their favorite drives.
This year, the Corvette marks its 70th anniversary. To honor this iconic sports car — and inspire you to explore somewhere new in your Corvette — we asked Corvette clubs around the country which cruises are their favorite and keep them coming back. From straights that’ll send your tachometer spinning to twists and turns where you can find that perfect apex, there’s something for everyone in each of these routes. Just make sure to stop and enjoy the scenery along the way, too.
Albuquerque to Los Alamos
For the New Mexico Corvette Club, heading into the mountains is the best way to find roads welcoming to Corvettes.
Arkansas: AR-16 to AR-23
For a Corvette club based in northwest Arkansas, it’s no wonder one of their favorite routes winds through the Ozark Mountains.
Massachusetts: Quabbin Resevoir to Black Dog Bar & Grill
Taking you through Massachusetts and Connecticut, this 75-mile route along winding two-lane roads is a favorite of the Eastern Massachusetts Corvette Club.
West Virginia: Lewisburg to Thomas
Winding its way from Lewisburg to Thomas, this favorite route of the Kanawha Valley Corvette Club samples some of the best of the Appalachian Mountains and ample opportunities for exciting driving.
Nevada: Nevada State Highway 318
Twice a year this, this 90-mile stretch of road north of Las Vegas closes for the Nevada Open Road Challenge and the Silver State Classic Challenge.
Montana: Missoula to Lochsa Lodge
This route, a favorite of Hellgate Corvette Club, starts in Missoula and ends about 50 miles west at Lochsa Lodge.
California: San Mateo to Santa Cruz
It’s only natural that one of the Northern California Corvette Club’s favorite cruises runs along California 1.
Georgia: Calhoun to Trenton
To escape from traffic and tourists, the Classic Glass Corvette Club journeys up to Northwest Georgia for one of it’s favorite routes.
