I thought maybe "suck creek" was an affectionate nick-name. Nope, that's the real name, all right.
Chattanooga, TN: Suck Creek Mountain Road | Other in Tennessee
I'd have to go ride it just because of the name!!!!
I went up from the other side from East Valley road. A little tougher. Same altitude gain with .5 miles less road and some crazy switchbacks. Fun on the way down
Named for a feature in the Tennessee River before the river dam system. Used to be a really treacherous area with a big whirlpool where many boats wrecked. Appropriately named The Suck.
