About the Drovers Road
This byway traverses through a wide range of landscapes from a natural plateau to narrow mountain gorges with spectacular views. The hillsides along the byway are covered in stands of mature trees, and during the spring and early summer, motorists are treated to a visual symphony of flowering trillium and mountain laurel.

About this page's facts
The line is the Federal Highway Administration's scenic byways layer (HEPGIS, a snapshot of 2022-06-24, a US government work), cut at the state line and simplified for the map; the length is the line's. The designation is the program's own: the national tiers from FHWA's America's Byways roster, the rest from the layer's designation field. Road conditions, closures and seasonal gates change: check the agency's own page and the state's road conditions before you go.
