Default rear fontana exit to 129

has anyone ever left the resort using the road behind the cabins? it leads to the meadow branch just below the fugitive dam and appears to be paved the whole way through. probably less traveled.


anyone?

That road is super narrow, in very bad shape and has neighborhoods as you get closer to 129 at the damn bridge lol. Had to use it when the bridge was closed for repairs.
