Route description
NC 212 is a 14.2-mile (22.9 km) two-lane mountain highway that begins in the Belva community. Traveling in a northeasterly direction, it hugs along the banks of the Shelton Laurel Creek, arriving in the White Rock community 4-mile (6.4 km) in. Continuing on, it travels through the heart of the Pisgah National Forest, going between Limestone and Sugarloaf Mountains. At Devil Fork Gap (3,107 ft (947 m), highest point on route), it crosses both the Appalachian Trail and the Tennessee state line, continuing on as SR 352 towards Johnson City.
History
NC 212 was established in 1926 as a new primary routing between NC 208, in Belva, and Devil Fork Gap, at the Tennessee state line.[2] In 1981, NC 212 was truncated .5 miles (0.80 km) east of Big Creek Road (SR 1312); the downgraded section, which was still unpaved at the time, became Secondary Road 1434.[3] In 1984, NCDOT reversed their decision and reinstated NC 212 to the Tennessee state line.[4]
Junction list
The entire route is in Madison County.
