Gravel Routes in Roan Mountain, Tennessee

Clarktown Road

Gravel route from Clarktown Rd to Old Clarktown Rd, Hampton, Carter County, Tennessee

"Obviously this map is not exactly correct, as I had to draw a line through the woods (but there is a road there). If you turn onto clarktown it will start going up pretty steeply. Then it will turn to gravel, still pretty steep. The gravel/dirt is apprx. 3 miles long and drops you out onto Fiddler's Branch (which connects to Simerly Creek). If you do it in reverse, the first bit of gravel is too loose and too steep to ride. "

Tiger Creek to Hughes Gap Road

Gravel route from Tiger Creek Rd to Greasy Creek Rd, Bakersville, Mitchell County, North Carolina

"This one is a bit tricky. If you do this in reverse (Hughes to Tiger, you'll be walking quite a bit. From Tiger creek you will go about 1.5 miles and you'll see a trail uphill to the left in the woods. Go that way. If you stay straight on the gravel road, it ends after about 4 miles. The trail in the woods is rideable on a gravel bike, but it'll be rough the entire time. Big rough rocks descending to Greasey Creek Rd."
