Finally made the trek up Citico Rd to Indian Boundary Lake in the Cherokee NF. The scenery was amazing. There was essentially no traffic. The temps were in the mid-60s.
The road changes from pavement to gravel and back to pavement a couple times. There are several pot-hole infested sections - but overall - I would rate the route conditions very nice.
Once you get to the lake - you are treated to a nicely cut single track loop around the lake - 3.1 miles. Almost no roots. That was a nice bonus for me.
