If you live to ride – live your dream ride in Napoleon and Henry County!  We offer great destinations and great roads to ride and enjoy.  Contact Us for further details or help.

1.  The first stop for any true motorcycle enthusiast should be Harley Davidson of Napoleon .  The oldest and most experienced Harley dealer in Northwest Ohio, Southern Michigan and Western Indiana also boasts the newest and largest facility!  Don’t miss Marv’s Museum – take a trip through Harley History right before your eyes.  Pick up the latest Harley gear and merchandise…and of course check out the great new and used Harley Davidson bikes.  Also, if you need parts or service the staff at Harley Davidson of Napoleon takes great pride in their honesty, integrity and hard work.  Cruise in today!

2.  We’ve got miles and miles of great roadway to cruise, but only one Ohio-designated “Scenic Byway”.  State Route 424 between Napoleon and Defiance is the first stretch to hit.  The highway winds through Henry County on the North bank of the Maumee River.  Enjoy the beautiful scenery, the interesting ride and an “off the main road” feel.  No matter what time you are riding Henry County – Spring, Summer or Fall – you’ll find a ride to tell your friends about!

3.  After you come back into Napoleon from Route 424, stop for lunch, dinner or just some cold refreshment at Rick’s Sports Bar and Eatery on North Perry Street in Downtown Napoleon.  Most anytime when you pull in front of Rick’s, you’ll see other bikes waiting for more miles while their riders are filling up inside.  A great atmosphere, large menu and cold drinks await.  Take a break and talk about your favorite story from the road with new friends or old. 

4.  Time to get back on and ride – our second most recommended ride takes the South side of the Maumee River this time.  State Route 110 between Napoleon and Grand Rapids offers another view of the “Mighty Maumee” and another spectacular stretch of road to explore.  You can feel the history all around you as you take the curves.  Nature opens up for you and you own the road!  Stop along the way at Mary Jane Thurston Park or cruise back to Napoleon for some Lodging or some shopping or dining.  Our feature roads will, hopefully, keep you coming back again and again!

We’ve featured just two of our fine roads for this Itinerary.  But take the time to stop in the Napoleon/Henry County Visitors Bureau office in Downtown Napoleon for a map of Henry County (or call or email us – we’ll send one to you).  There are many great cruises on our backroads.  The roads in the Northeast portion of the County around Liberty Center offer great views.  The blacktop in Southern Henry County near Hamler and Deshler also beckon.  Take the time to explore our County.  We’re proud of our great roads and our great people.  We hope you feel comfortable and we welcome your rides!  Don’t forget – we are also centrally located for all of your trips in the Tri-state area.  Use us for your “home base” wherever you do some road tripping.  Check our Lodging page for the best places to stay.
