NE Route
NE Route - 198 miles
The route goes east to Bat Cave, up highway 9 to Old Fort Road, north on highway 80 to Micaville
then follows Double Island and Jacks Creek to highway 19E.
It then contiues wast on Laurel Valley Road, Big Laurel and Walnut Creek road into Marshall.
Continuing south on Hwy 251 through Weaverville and up Ox creek road to the Blue Ridge
Parkway then Hwy 191 to Avery Creek Rd and Pennsylvania road to Boylston Hwy and back to
the Mills River Restaurant.
You'll need to pay attention to the route sheet as many of theses roads are not main roads.
The advantage of that is nice twisty roads and very little traffic. All secondary roads in North Carolina have are part of a road number grid. While it's impossible to
try and figure out the grid, the road numbers (ie SR1001) are always correct. If you get lost or
turned around trust the road numbers not the road names as the names are not always the same
as on your maps.
Have fun and be safe.
