NC 226

North End: Tennessee Line North of Buladean

South End: Grover

(Matthew Craig) A small North Carolina State Line sign greets you at the Northern Terminus of NC 226 is at the Tennessee State Line north of Buladean.

Here is a photo of the first NC 226 South sign located just past the terminus. The larger, more commonly seen, Welcome to North Carolina sign stands just beyond it. The elevation here is over 3000 feet.

(Adam Prince) The Southern Terminus of NC 226 is at US 29 in Grover. NC 226 misses entering South Carolina by less than a mile. I had an interesting incident when I visited this end. Just before I took this photo, I was stopped as part of a random license check just across the railroad tracks in the distance. I had no troubles with the stop. But it was my first experience, after living over 16 months in NC, of this kind. I guess that's 'Southern Justice'?

The first NC 226 shield gives no indication that you are headed North.

This view from US 29 South shows you how close NC 226 comes to the South Carolina state line, about 1000 feet.
