Ohio River Rt.52 or Rt.23?

Hi all. Will be heading north to Columbus, Oh. We want to do a slo leisurely travel along the Ohio river from Huntington, WV. to Portsmouth, Oh. Will be in our 34' Class'A' with TOAD.
Which route has the better views of the river & scenery? Ohio Rt.52 or Kentucky Rt.23? Thanks

    Rt 23 on the Kentucky side would give you more views of the Ohio River although they are mostly limited. I can think of one place or two where elevation gives you a decent view for a while. If you cross the Greenup Dam Bridge there is a parking area on the Ohio Side which has an observation deck and nice views of the dam and locks. I would then stay on that side and follow Rt 52 on into Portmouth. There is a nice view of the river near the railroad bridge in New Boston Ohio.
