State highways that completely dead end (no other access)
Dan Garnell
to a complete dead end, w/ no other road leading from the end of that
highway, even if the side road dead ends as well. An example of a
highway I'm talking about is M-37 north of Traverse City. This road
comes to a dead end at a lighthouse/park, at the tip of the Old
Mission Peninsula. There's no place else to go but back the other way
on M-37. For the most part, I think the roads on this list will be
ones that end at extensive bodies of water, like M-37 on Grand
Traverse Bay.

Lots of roads in Hawaii due this. On Kauai, both 50 and 560, the "circle"
routes on the north and south sides deadend as due a few others (unless
they're numbered but legally county roads as some are in Hawaii).

Well, there are a *huge* number of "state highways" in Virginia and North
Carolina that come to dead ends. Even if you want to limit the discussion
to primary routes, you could probably find a fair number in Virginia,
because of the state legislature's dictate that all roads serving state
colleges, state parks, and other state facilities be incorporated into the
Primary Highway System. Just to take one example -- VA 318 is the one-block
road that serves as the entrance to the State Capitol in Richmond, and it is
a dead end. (In fact, you can't even drive on the road without a permit.)

I guess NY 421 doesn't quite qualify since the state route designation
ceases before the road physically dead-ends about a mile later. (or if
you count the jeep trails going off into the woods as not being a
true dead end)
There are a handful of NY reference routes that truely dead-end (such as
970D which leads off the aforementioned NY 421)

Also, state route 541 on Kauai ends at a harbor.
On the Big Island, routes 270 (ends at a trail into a valley), 19 (east
end is at the Hilo wharf), 160 (national park parking lot), and 130
(except for a temporary unpaved 4x4 access road, off where lava flows
covered the highway's SW end). Route 240 ends at a steep (25% grade,
one mile long, 4x4 only!) paved access road down into the Waipio Valley.
On Maui, state routes 32A, 32B, and 360 dead-end at wharves.
On Lanai, the only state highway (route 440) runs from one harbor to
another.
On Molokai, routes 450 and 470 dead-end at parking lots in state parks,
and route 460's east end is technically at the Kaunakakai wharf.
On Oahu, route 95 dead-ends at a harbor; and unsigned route 7345 ends at
a hospital. Routes 93 and 930 both end at unpaved 4x4-only roads to
Kaena Point (which used to be a single road rounding the point -- and
part of the state highway system -- until a landslide broke the
connection).
Many other state highways on Oahu end at gates to military bases.
For Alaska, the southern segment of state route 10 dead-ends to the east
at the damaged Million Dollar Bridge (unless you count a 4x4-only road
over what's left of the bridge, and a few miles beyond). Route 6 ends
on the banks of the Yukon River, as does (AFAIK) route 5, and (on the
Tanana River) route 2. Routes 1, 4, and 9 end at or near harbors,
though I don't know whether the state highway ends before the pavement
does.

Just from what I can see in the DeLorme Maine atlas:
Routes 15, 24, 96, 123, 127, 129, 130, 195 (state not I), 209 and 217.
In all of these cases they end at the Atlantic Ocean.
It's not only the USA either:
New Brunswick routes 113, 145, 265, 305, 725, 735, 745 and 776 dead-end
too. In the case of 265 and the 7xx routes, they end at rivers rather
than the ocean. Theoretically, 172, 176 and 772 could also count in that
they end at ferries.

M-209, when it existed, came to a dead end. M-212 in Aloha is the only
road out of Aloha, so TECHNICALLY it's a dead end…
M-201 is also sort of a dead end; this designation should go up to the
tip and dead-end.
There's also a few in NC on Gribblenation.

Mississippi has only a few roads that do this:
MS-305: Ends at Sardis Lake, but "locally maintained" in that area.
MS-552: Runs right into the Mississippi River, also "locally
maintained".
MS-991 and MS-993: Some Naval shipbuilding thingee (both are secret)
(I may not have every road listed)
Roads that might dead-end:
MS-611: Industrial park (there is a road that continues from the end,
so I'm not sure)
If you want roads that end state highway designation in stupid
locations with the road continuing, however, Mississippi's got tons of
those, such as (in my area) MS-314 and MS-346.
In North Carolina, US-74 and US-421 both dead-end at the ocean.
Florida has numerous state-highway dead-ends, and Alabama has a few,
such as AL-180 (which ends at the ocean on at least one end, if not
both).

This includes an interstate (I-H3).
US71
AR 7 dead-ends at (I think)Bull Shoals Lake.
There's a 1/2 mile section of AR 156 at Prarie Grove that dead-ends at
a chicken plant.
AR 127 and AR 127S end at Beaver Lake (near Garfield)
AR 264 ends at Beaver Lake (near Springdale)
Another section of AR 127 near Clifty used to end at Beaver Lake
before it was re-routed.
AR 171 ends at Lake Catherine near Hot Springs
That's all I can think of off hand.

Not quite...the designation ends at the entrance to the Veteran's Colony
(the old tuberculosis sanitarium, two amazing old buildings), but there is a
road that leads north and one that leads east from this point.
If anyone's interested in seeing some shots of the old sanitarium, there are

Some corrections here. Former MS 991 is now designated MS 619. Former
MS 993 is now designated MS 617. MS 617 runs from US 90 down to the
main entrance to Ingalls Shipbuilding (west side), while MS 619 starts
at MS 617, and runs along the "Singing River Causeway" to the entrance
to Naval Station Pascagoula (ending at the main gate). In both cases,
though, there are roads leading from the end of each route.

He's looking for state highways that dead-end, period, with no roads
leading from the end. Except for the occasional few in Mississippi that
dead end into a river or lake, there aren't any in this state.

A number of the state secondary highways in Missouri (designated with
letters) dead end. For instance, Highway F in Warren County dead ends
south of Innsbrook (near Wright City).

OH 53 ends at the ferry to the Bass Islands. Some ofthe routes on the

I may be wrong about this, but I-564 in Norfolk looks like it ends at
Norfolk Naval Air Station.

where private vehicles are prohibited, so it may have the lowest vehicle
count of any state highway in the States.

Quite a few do, actually. Then there are situations such as Route
BB in Rocheport, which makes a turn in town and becomes Spur Route 240.
Some of the dead-ending supplementals originally were state (or
even US) highways: Route AA in Trenton once was US 65, Route VV
north of Columbia once was US 63, and so on.
And Route D at Kansas City International Airport ends...at the
airport.

picture my wife took of me in front of the marker, but at least
circa 1993, there was a tiny CA state highway in the Gold Country
region that wound up a little mountain, perhaps a mile or so, then
dead-ended at the top. It was connected to one of the historic sites/
state parks relating to the Gold Rush, and I want to say the highway
in question was CA 151 or 153 or something to that effect. The lone
miners' spade on the road had a green rectangle beneath it that read
"California's Shortest State Highway".
Ring any bells with anyone?

Well if you want to talk about reference routes, there's Bay Parkway in
Jones Beach, which ends at the West end of Jones Beach. There's also a
similar unnamed road at Robert Moses State Parkway which was supposed to end
at Democratic Point, but instead ends abruptly at a golf course.(What are
the reference route numbers of those, again?).
