Directions to Lost Creek, 8280 Hemlock Ridge Road, from Blowing Rock.
It is approximately 13 minutes from Blowing Rock.

Take Highway 321 North from Hickory up the mountain, take the left turn fork into downtown Blowing Rock (The Broyhill Gallery - large log building is at the fork). Go into town on Main St. to the 2nd light and turn left onto 221 going towards Linville. Go approximately 1 mile to the entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway on right. Turn left (South) onto the Blue Ridge Parkway. Go south on the Parkway for approximately 5 miles past Price Lake National Park (1/2 mile past mile marker 298), exit right at the TO 221 sign then left onto Holloway Mountain Road (If you go over the Linn Cove Viaduct, youve gone too far!). Continue on Holloway Mountain Road 1 mile until it dead ends onto US 221 (The Grandfather Country store will be dead ahead) then turn right onto US 221. Go exactly 3 miles to Lost Creek (221 is a wonderful, curvy, mountain road for the sports driver). The entrance is on the left with stone pillars. Drive down the paved road, continue past 3 houses (scattered on the right) to the T in the road (the Wild Boar Inn will be straight ahead). Turn right on Hemlock Ridge Road. The first and second driveway on left is our house.
