The section of FR475 that’s covered here starts out at the intersection with US276. This intersection is 5.2 miles from the intersection in Brevard where 64/280/276 converge. If you’re coming from the Blue Ridge Parkway, the turn is 9.8 miles from the stop sign at the base of the ramp. I’ve arranged this page as if you were driving down FR475 after turning off of US276. So now you can work your way down FR475, if you choose. All of my distances are measured from the intersection at US276 and they may be off by a tenth of a mile or so. I suggest you slow down in advance since making a u-turn on FR475 isn’t always easy.
