If I remember right, the MTR FAQ mentioned I-229's northern terminus (476th Ave) was an unpaved road.

Paved in 2006 per Wikipedia. GSV shows it as such.

I'm not sure if this is along the lines of what the OP is looking for, but there are plenty of exits where the interchange area is paved, but not beyond, such as here, exit 160 of I-70 in Green River, Utah.

This the first thing I thought of.  IIRC these are signed "Ranch Exit."

I'm assuming what the OP is looking for is exits which lead to unpaved roads.  If so, the "County Road" exit on I-680 in Iowa going east between the Missouri River and I-29 is one of them.  There are several I'm aware of in both Iowa and Nebraska where one direction from the exit is unpaved (the direction that doesn't lead into town).

Usually, yes. This one in particular, though, is signed I-70-BUS UT-19 Green River.

Was it one of these?  I didn't see any clover leaf interchanges on I-70 in Kansas, but I did see these, with loop ramps, that exit to unpaved roads.

Are there any public exits on Interstates where the ramps are unpaved? This one in Wyoming comes close, but pavement extends to the cattle grate after the ramps converge. I'm thinking of something like this half diamond on SR 528; although it serves a private road, the ramps are not posted as such.

Exit 49 on I-75 essentially goes to KY 909 and a dirt forest road: http://goo.gl/maps/O4jJA

There is a public exit on I-70 in Kansas, i forgot the exact number, the exit ramp is paved until the ramp curves to go underneath. so maybe 1/4th of it is paved

As I recall, Gotfredson Road was unpaved when M-14 opened (OK, not an Interstate, but a freeway).  I'm not sure where the pavement started or ended; I believe it was paved between both ramps and over the bridge, and the pavement ended shortly north and south of the ramps.

I-10 has a bunch in the desert.

Exit 162 in California (signed as Frontage Road) is only paved enough to cross under the freeway, and otherwise serves dirt roads. Its primary function is to serve a natural gas compressor station, but there are other roads off of it that don't appear to be gated off. http://goo.gl/maps/QTZBC

Exit 182, Red Cloud Road, is unpaved except for the part linking the ramps. http://goo.gl/maps/bm1Av

Exit 5 in Arizona, Tom Wells Road, is only paved within the ROW and to serve the adjacent businesses before turning to dirt/gravel. http://goo.gl/maps/39wKr

Exit 26, Gold Nugget road, is only paved within the ROW. http://goo.gl/maps/JPlfI

Exit 53, Hovatter Road, is paved to the south towards the CAP Canal facility, but unpaved to the north towards Salome. http://goo.gl/maps/MYrWM

Exit 69, Ave 75E, is paved only within the ROW. http://goo.gl/maps/RTvWv

The Nature Boy

What used to be Exit 14 in Lumberton, North Carolina (onto what used to be US 74) was an unpaved dirt incline that locals would illegally use. It took the NC DOT awhile to finally block it off.

I always wondered what those ramps were for. I assumed the cops used them for running radar, though I've never actually seen a cop there.

Probably part of the agreement to build the road back in the 1960s.

Might be for a maintenance crossover.  It's a hell of a lot safer than cutting through the median.

Nope, it clearly serves private property on both sides of the road.

I would say Alaska's Interstate 1 has several (http://goo.gl/maps/ufdr3), but they are freshly paved in the streetview. Perhaps it's winter grime and salt?

There used to be large-ish signs denoting two of FL 528's exits as "Private Road", with no other advance warning signs. I think one serves a ranch and the other is for a prison. Last I'd driven that route was back in '96, I'm working on hazy memory, at best.

Nah, the prison is ICP Boulevard, which now connects to Alafaya.
There was formerly a third private interchange just east of SR 417, west of the toll plaza (the retention ponds show the shape), and Dallas Boulevard was also one.
