    Default Pisgah Roads

    Are the Pisgah public forest roads open yet, or is it still April 1st or 1st full week of April?

    I believe most are open. Did you have a particular one in mind? You might also check the NC National Forest website:www.cs.unca.edu/nfsnc/

    All service roads should be open. We have not had any foul weather in quite a while so there shouldn't be any icing or snow.
    HAPPY TRAILS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD HIKE!

    most roads stay open year-round barring temporary closings for bad weather, but even so these closings are short and rare. this of course excludes the parkway.
    The only thing better than mountains, is mountains where you haven't been.

    Last time I checked the road to Deep Gap was closed due to controlled burns, and FS 140 had a bit of washout on the bridge but it was still open and we drove it in a Chevy Metro.
    Getting lost only makes things more interesting.
