This stretch of the Ohio River Scenic Byway runs from historic Madison to Vevay on Indiana 56, then follows Indiana 156 close to the river through Patriot before joining 56 again to Rising Sun. Much of the way the road sits between the river and wooded bluffs. Madison and Vevay both have well preserved 19th century river town centers.
