Ohio 78 crosses the hill country of southeastern Ohio from McConnelsville through Caldwell and Woodsfield to the Ohio River at Clarington. The stretch through the ridges is known as the Rim of the World for its long views over the valleys. Expect a steady run of sweepers and tighter bends with little traffic between towns.
