Abstract:
Across North Carolina forty-four roads, or sections of roads, have been designated by the state as scenic byways. Two others have National Scenic Byway designations: the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Cherohala Skyway. Scenic byways vary in length from 3 miles to 173 miles and were chosen for their “cultural, natural, and historic features.†These include the French Broad Overview, Drovers Road Byway, Colonial Heritage Byway, Brunswick Town Road, and Alligator River Route.
