Little River Gorge Road — Townsend to Wears Valley
United States · measured from OpenStreetMap geometry
Little River Gorge Road runs 12 miles between Townsend and Wears Valley. We counted 601 corners along it, which works out at 50.1 a mile — corner after corner with no let-up. It runs past mountain peaks, a ridge line, a waterfall and a river. That puts it in the busiest tenth of every road we have measured in the United States, where the median is 25.1 a mile.
Ridden together with Foothills Parkway and Moonshiner 28 it makes about 105 more miles of the same kind of road.

How we measured it
Corner counts come from the road's own geometry in OpenStreetMap, not from ratings or votes. Every bend above a threshold of curvature is counted once, so two roads can be compared directly. Nothing here is crowdsourced and nobody paid to appear.
