Directions

GPS is unreliable in our mountainous area – Check your GPS!

GPS will sometimes route people through an impassable road near our campus. To ensure this does not happen, check that your GPS is using the Sylva/Cullowhee exit (Exit 85) or Cope Creek Road. DO NOT turn onto Blanton Branch Road.

Directions – print copy – for your printing pleasure

From the South

• From I-85N, exit Left onto I-985. I-985 will turn into GA 365 and will then merge with 441N.

• Follow 441N to Dillsboro, NC. At the light in Dillsboro, just over a bridge, turn right onto Business 23.

• Follow Business 23 through Dillsboro and Sylva to Highway 107 South intersection. Go straight through the intersection and follow Highway 107 South out of Sylva.

• When you pass the Ingles, leaving Sylva, look for Old Cullowhee Highway on your left (If you went over Catamount Gap and are at Western Carolina University, you went too far).

• At stop light, before the bridge, turn Left on Old Cullowhee Highway.

• Go 1.5 miles and Turn Left onto Cane Creek Rd.

• Go 1 mile up Cane Creek Road to the end of the pavement where the gravel road begins.

• Go 100 yards on the gravel road, past the purple house on the left. The next drive on the left is the Downstream Campus parking lot. There is also space just up on the right if you can’t get into that driveway.

• If your course is at the Upstream Campus continue up Cane Creek Rd to the paved driveway on the left. Parking space is limited! So please park mindfully, either facing the creek or hillside.

• Grounds Orientation and housing assignments are located in the front of the classroom at the Downstream Campus, and in the foyer of the yellow dining hall at the Upstream Campus (second floor).
