Shawnee Road

Shawnee Road is another scenic route through the North Carolina High Country that is similar in character to many of the surrounding roads. The trail provides an easy and enjoyable drive, with no major obstacles under normal conditions and terrain suitable for all vehicles. What helps Shawnee Road stand out from other nearby routes are the impressive views of Beech Mountain. Several areas along the trail provide users with beautiful perspectives of the mountain and the surrounding Appalachian landscape, making the scenery the main attraction of this drive. Shawnee Road is an excellent addition to a longer route through the area and can easily be combined with nearby trails for a relaxing day of exploring the mountain roads around Boone and Banner Elk.
