This road is one of the better kept secrets in western N.C. In my opinion this is better than Deal's Gap. Just as many challenging twisties and much less traffic and law enforcement. Fine scenery with the beautiful valley of Spring Creek in the middle of the run. The section from Fine's Creek to Hot Springs is excellent. This road is also know as "The Rattler." You're going to love this one!

I too love this road. Much less crowded, scenery is some of the best. I ride this several times a year. Make the Trust general store a for sure stop.

Hi I was wondering how you came up with the name for NC HWY 209 because ever since I can remember its been called The Rattler and merchandise for the road has been sold back as far as the early 2000's I bought my first shirt for the road in Jan 2007.

Cannot adequately describe the beauty. Took 25/70 east from TN to 209 S to I-40. Great ride with all the twist & turns, elevation. 25\70 runs along the French Broad River...breathtakingly beautiful. Will be going on this ride again.
