NC 107 is a North Carolina state highway located entirely within Jackson County, North Carolina and runs between the county seat of Sylva south to Cashiers and then on to the South Carolina state line, right through the heart of the county. The highway is four lanes between Sylva and Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, and two lanes beyond. Between WCU and Cashiers (about 18 miles), the highway is a winding mountain road, and continues in this manner all the way to the South Carolina state border. Before it was straightened and bypassed around Cullowhee in 1978-1981, the road followed the Tuckasegee River through Cullowhee, and went along the opposite edge of Western Carolina University than today's 4-lane.[1] This is now known as Old Cullowhee Road and is planned to become the new downtown area for Cullowhee, NC. The area of NC 107 around Sylva is lined with businesses.
