North Carolina Highway 225 (NC 225) is a 10.7-mile (17.2 km) route running from U.S. Route 25 (US 25), near the South Carolina state line to Hendersonville. It crosses over US 25 once before ending. It runs through East Flat Rock and near Lake Summit.
NC 225 is a two-lane rural highway that travels along a former routing of US 25 in Henderson County. Beginning along Bobs Creek Road and US 25 (exit 1), it goes east and then north along Old US Highway 25. Crossing the Green River, it enters the community of Tuxedo, wedged between US 25 and Lake Summit. At Zirconia, it crosses underneath US 25 (exit 5) continuing north through the village of Flat Rock. In Hendersonville, it ends at the intersection of South Main Street (US 25 Business) and Spartanburg Highway (US 176). This point also marks the terminus for US 176.
With exception to Bobs Creek Road, NC 225 overlaps what was formally the Dixie Highway (1915-1927).
NC 225 is part of one scenic byway in the state (indicated by a Scenic Byways sign).Historic Flat Rock Scenic Byway is an 8.3-mile (13.4 km) byway from Pinnacle Mountain Road (SR 1114) to Highland Lake Road (SR 1783). It is noted for its views of nearby Glassy and McAlpin mountains and access to the Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site, the Flat Rock Playhouse and the Flat Rock Historic District.
