The road was re-paved during the spring and it was smooth. All turnouts along the road were paved.
The ride along Route 28 (MoonShiner28) following Fontana Lake:
After a ride on the dragon, a beer was in order at the Natahala Outdoor store and Big Wesser Riverside Pub. Pub has seats and tables along the Natahala River. Kayakers can be observed playing in the river closeup!
Great scenery with new paved roads this trip was awesome.
