Exploring the Weird, the Wild, and the Wonderfully Unexpected

Welcome to Curious Roads—your destination for discovering the strangest attractions, quirkiest roadside stops, and most unusual experiences in America and beyond. Whether it’s a haunted bridge in the Appalachians or a diner shaped like a giant beagle, we’re here to help you explore the road less traveled—one bizarre stop at a time.

Who We Are

We’re a small team of curious explorers, road trip lovers, and oddity enthusiasts who believe that the best travel stories come from the weirdest places. While we’re not historians or travel agents, we’ve spent years chasing down America’s most unexpected detours—and now, we’re sharing them with you.

Curious Roads was born from a simple idea: that the world is more interesting when you take the strange exit instead of the scenic route. We built this site to inspire fellow adventurers to seek out giant rocking chairs, mysterious ghost lights, and llama parades that no one told you about in geography class.
