Perry Presnell Road to Andy Hicks Road

Gravel route from Perry Presnell Rd to Andy Hicks Rd, Banner Elk, Watauga County, North Carolina

Bumpus Cove Gravel

Gravel route from Bumpus Cove Rd to Lower Higgins Creek Rd, Erwin, Unicoi County, Tennessee

"Map not correct. Bumpus Cove gravel is a 7 mile mostly gently/rolling climb. At around 6.9 miles there is a forestry service gate up the hill to the right. Go that way for MILES AND MILES of offroad fun/options (best on a mtb). The other forestry service gates on Bumpus Cove, to my knowledge, dead end. At the 7.1 mile mark there is a path through the woods on the left. Go that way to Erwin. First part of path is around 1.6ish miles. At the fork, go right. VERY STEEP (and at times rough) downhill that drops you out on Sandy Bottom Rd in Erwin. If you go this way on a gravel bike, be careful. Do not attempt to do Sandy Bottom to Bumpus in reverse or you'll walk almost half of it. It is extremely steep."

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."

Tower Road

Gravel route from Tower Rd to Tower Rd, Hampton, Carter County, Tennessee

"Very steep at times. Before you get to the AT, take the trail to the right and it connects to Harrison Hollow to make for a long gravel ride. "

Panhandle Road to Top

Gravel route from Panhandle Rd to Panhandle Rd, Watauga, Carter County, Tennessee
