Description

Gravel road starts on the left from Rock Creek Road/TN-395 at Indian Grave Gap. If you cross into North Carolina, you've missed the turn. The road pass two different overlooks, Beauty Gap and Unaka Mountain Overlook, that are worth the stop. This stretch of gravel is used in a local gravel grind race.
