My brother and I finished our 1-day, 200-mile tour of twisties in TN & NC with Tn32. They should call it "Moonshiner's Worm" - it's set way back in the woods and is every bit as twisted as the worm on a moonshine still.
After rolling through the Dragon, Hellbender, and Foothills Parkway, Tennessee 32 was tighter twister and more technically demanding than any of them. My brother rode a sport touring BMW and while he made it through quicker I was tired from the long day and took my time taking many tight double-back turns in second gear. This road IS NOT for new or minimally experienced riders. It is more difficult than the Dragon due to numerous tigh turns and steep climbs & descents. I rarely got above 20mph and when I did I almost immediately had to Get on the brakes to execute a tight turn/switchback. The pavement ends at the crossing of the Appalachian Trail. From that point it's down a fairly steep dirt road about a mile to the pavement and two more miles to interstate I 40.
For those who like very tight, technical, secluded rides Tennessee 32 is for you. For those who like views, sweeping turns, and carrying a little speed- STAY AWAY.

This is every bit as crazy as The Dragon. Even tighter I'd say. Crazy fun and little to no traffic but as the others said, it's not for beginners. And I measured the distance at the Appalachian trail and it's EXACTLY 1 mile of unpaved road. But it's steep and tight and if you came from NC on a bike and it was at all damp that 1 mile would ruin a great day. Such a shame. Just pave the last mile!

Nice ride, not for the faint of heart. This is a technical road especially on a cruiser. These corners come up quick and require some skill. Minimal traffic but if you do get behind someone be prepared for a snoozefest.
Pros: Very few adjoining roads /driveways = less traffic you would encounter.
Cons: Some turns can trick even experienced riders.
