Editing Sky Valley, Georgia (section)

==Transportation==
The only highway or other significant through-road is the [[North Carolina Highway 106 - Georgia State Route 246|Dillard/Highlands Road]] ([[North Carolina Highway 106 - Georgia State Route 246|Georgia 246]] and [[North Carolina Highway 106 - Georgia State Route 246|N.C. 106]]) between [[Dillard, Georgia]] and [[Highlands, North Carolina]]. The northern city limit is the [[North Carolina]] state line, where the highway zigzags, crossing in five different places (two of which are into and out of the city).  Due to surveying errors more than 200 years ago, the boundary is considerably further south than the [[35th parallel north|35°N]] specified at the time by Congress.

Because of this, the main road into Sky Valley from the highway is actually within the community of [[Scaly Mountain, North Carolina]], which also had a ski area that closed in 2004 but offers [[snow tubing]] each winter since then.  Beginning at a small intersection that is bisected by exactly 35°N, Old Mud Creek Road travels south and becomes Bald Mountain Road at the state line, then curving east as the city's [[main street]] (though there is no downtown or [[business district]] ''per se'') and eventually ending at Hale Ridge Road just south of the state line.

The main entrance was originally to be a new road from Ga. 246 instead of N.C. 106, however [[GDOT]] denied this for safety reasons.  Around 1980, a [[covered bridge]] was built along the highway for this entrance, but was never used, and still stands as of 2019.
