Written Directions

From Cosby Tennessee take TN 32 to Waterville Road, Mt Sterling North Carolina

Scenery

You will be riding thru the Cherokee National Forest and Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Drive Enjoyment

The road is almost prefect with virtually no traffic,except for the last 1.6 miles.The pucker factor is that last 1.6 miles is a down grade of about 10% on dirt, so don't ride in the rain or shortly after a rain. Overall it is mostly twisties with altitude changes.

Tourism Opportunities

None

Motorcycle Road Additional info

To me it is one of the best roads I have ever been on. I also really enjoyed that last 1.6 miles.

I came in from NC side. After exiting off I-40 it was only a few miles to the Tennessee state line but, about 2 miles worth of dirt road to get there. Once you hit the Tn. state line it is paved. This is a great road! Passed three vehicles. Great pavement. Serious tight twisties. A blast!

OK, nevermind my review above, haha. (I can't find how to delete or edit a previous review). Apparently I was on Trail Hollow Road, not on Waterville Road, and was on 32 for only about one or two miles, and I was nowhere near the technical section. Long story short, I will definitely make it back to do the full Highway 32.

I've been on the road before, but recently led a small group of eight bikes on this. A beautiful, twisty road with very light (if any) traffic. It is often referred to as the "Redneck Dragon." At the TN/NC border you cross the Appalachian Trail and pavement ends. Just make sure you're there in relatively dry weather. The packed dirt and light gravel were no problem for my rider, mostly on heavy touring bikes. It's 1.2 miles like this and has a couple switchbacks. You simply ride slowly and it's not a problem. I've ridden in 45 states. This is one of my favorite roads. A very pleasant ride and highly recommended.
