About This Spring

Description

There is a large rock face about 4-5 miles from where the road turns to gravel. There are pull outs on each side and piped spring on the right side. It’s popular with locals who you’ll likely find there filling up jugs as well.

Important! If you turn North onto FR 482 you will be in the South Toe River watershed and find the road impassable due to a landslide. Backtrack and go South from the Blue Ridge Parkway down FR 482.

Nearest Address

State Road 1722 which becomes Forest Service Road 482 upon entering Pisgah National Forest

Directions from Nearest Address

From East on 1-40 take the Old Fort exit and ascend Curtis Creek Road. From West take Bleu Ridge Parkway to FR 482 South
