Planning a ride going through Tellico to Robbinsville, planning on going by Bald River Falls on the way. BaseCamp wants to draw the route along North River Road towards Robbinsville instead of going back to the Skyway. We've done the Skyway several times and might want to run the other route. Can anyone tell me what North River Road is like? That is, is it good pavement? Google Maps satellite view only shows that it is heavily wooded; can't see the road. I'm not looking to take a gravel road.

Thanks.

 

Little different than when everyone was here

 

Fairly certain it turns to gravel not far from the falls. ETA yep gravel http://tailofthedragonmaps.com/wp-co...ohala_2015.pdf

 

I only know of 2 roads that go from Tellico Plains to Robbinsville and one is the Skyway and the other is gravel...

 

Guys, so sorry for my snow picture!! I was trying to post in a BLACK River Falls post from this summer. Apologies, carry on.

It's a gravel road not much more than a fire trail.
