North Carolina Highway 191 (NC 191) is a 21.62-mile (34.79 km) long south-to-north state highway in the western part of the U.S. state of North Carolina. It travels within portions of Henderson and Buncombe counties.
NC 191 begins at an intersection with U.S. Route 25 Business (US 25 Bus.) / Asheville Highway in the city of Hendersonville in Henderson County. Named Haywood Road, it travels northwest from Hendersonville and enters the town of Mills River, where it meets NC 280 (Boylston Highway). NC 191 runs concurrent with NC 280 northward for a short distance before separating after approximately one mile (1.6 km). The route continues north towards Asheville, leaving Henderson County and entering Buncombe County, before meeting the western terminus of NC 146 (Long Shoals Road) in the community of Avery Creek. Past Avery Creek, NC 191 intersects the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, a National Parkway and All-American Road. The highway continues north into Venable, intersecting the eastern terminus of NC 112 (Sardis Road) and then Interstate 26 (I-26) and US 74 at exit 33 as it reaches the outermost city limits of Asheville. Entering the city, NC 191 interchanges with I-40 (exit 47) and one-half mile (0.80 km) later, with I-26/I-240 (exit 1B). NC 191 heads into the southwestern section of Asheville named Brevard Road. At just over 21.5 miles (34.6 km), the route reaches its northern end at US 19 Bus./US 23 Bus. (Haywood Road)
