Tellico gravel roads

[Jody Treadway]

Wife wants to go for a light adventure/gravel/back road drive this weekend. Gonna take her on a loop from 129 (Dragon) over into Murphy and into Tellico.
What gravel roads are open to vehicular traffic in Tellico now? Was planning on going up past the OG fee station and towards the first creek crossing.
Any intel from recent drives out that way?

Don't know but that sounds like a way cool nostalgic ride!

Last time I was there 2014 or 15 trail 1 was paved from the pay station all the way to State Line campground IIRC. The gate for the road next to Lower 2 was open but I didn't go in since I was in the Jetta. Post lots of pictures!

Been MANY YEARs since I did it, but there was a dirt road off the Cherohola Skwy that brought in to the backside of the fishing area. I thinkit was N. River Rd.
