Does anyone know if the Forest Service roads in the Nantahala Forest are closed for winter. Mainly 1365, 1397, and 1310.
Thanks

as far as I am aware, all Forest Service roads in NC south of Fontana are closed until at least March 15. you can double check with the Nanatahala Ranger District.

You will find 1310 is Wayah Road, runs from Franklin to Topton, this road is always open even when snow bound: http://www.sundaymorningrides.com/road/4178353/

I don't know if its the same for Nantalhala. But all seasonal Pisgah gated roads open around mid April.

I think those are state roads and not forest service roads.

Here is the contact info for FS rd info:

X2. Those 4-digit numeric codes are NC county roads, part of the State road system. I'm not aware of any NC county/State roads which have seasonal closures.
