Directions: Go west on I-40. Just the other side of Canton, NC you will see Exit 27 for 19/23. Be alert! It is a wide two lane exit, but not an exit ramp, while an unmistakable exit it is easy to miss if not paying attention or heavy traffic. There are no exits for some time and it will cost you a one hour round trip if you miss this turn off. You stay on this the whole way to Murphy. When you get to the end of the 4 lane, the right lane turns right towards Robinsville. Stay in left lane. This will take you thru the Nantahala National Forest. You must go like 20 mph through the areas that the stores, shops, and rafting places are. It’s a long winding road with varying speed limits. Lots of ups and downs. Once through there you are close to Murphy. When you get into Murphy, you will see a Wal-Mart on the left. It is usually the cheapest place to re-fuel. When you leave Wal-Mart, turn right at the second stoplight (not counting the one at Wal-mart). This will take you through town. Stay straight all the way through town until you come to a flashing yellow light. Turn right there onto Hanging Dog Road. Stay straight on Hanging Dog road till you see Davis Creek Rd on the right. That’s the way into the trail system. It actually turns into trail 1.
If you go past Davis Creek road you will go up a long winding road up, and when you start down again you will find Crawford’s on the right. Look for the White Jeep on a pole (it’s the sign for the place).
