If you happen to be visiting Fines Creek during the fall, you can test your courage by wandering inside the Haunted School. For the first half of your journey, you will skirt around the east side of Harmon Den Wildlife Management Area. This will take you close to Bill Cove, Liner Cove, Turkey Cove, and Betsy Gap.
Before you enter Pisgah National Forest, your surroundings will be sprawling farmlands with old barns, farm buildings, and fields full of hay or corn. After passing the small communities of Luck and Trust, you will find a small establishment called the Rattlers Den at the halfway point. A popular rest stop for motorcyclists, you will be able to catch a quick meal and take a break from the road.
As you continue your journey north toward Hot Springs, you can try out target practice by shooting at the Fowler Farms Sporting Clays. You can explore the natural scenery at the Pisgah National Forest, Rocky Bluffs. When you are about to enter Hot Springs, you can take a short trek by heading up the Appalachian Trailhead, South Hot Springs.
