This unique collection of roads south of Great Smoky Mountains National Park extends the coverage of great rides through the National Forests described in America Rides Map "The Best Roads South of Great Smoky Mountains National Park - EAST" to present hundreds more miles of scenic, challenging, and thrilling mountain roads and more roadside waterfalls. When combined with the companion map, "The Best Roads South of Great Smoky Mountains National Park - EAST", nearly 20 roadside waterfalls can be toured.

The focus of this map is on the little known and traveled gems and jewels treasured by local riders in this playground of mountain riding pleasures that give you alternatives to the few main roads which are too often burdened with commercial and tourist traffic. I've included a guide that helps you find 8 roadside waterfalls, some of which are great places for photos with your bike. The roads are a challenge of curves and rises that skirt along mountain lakes and reservoirs, follow along serpentine creeks and streams, taking you into the back hills only moonshiners used to frequent. I love these rides and I know you will too.
