North Carolina Highway 65 (NC 65) is a primary state highway in the state of North Carolina. Traveling east–west within the Piedmont Triad, it connects the towns of Rural Hall, Walnut Cove, Stokesdale and Wentworth with the city of Reidsville.
NC 65 is a 47.7-mile (76.8 km) rural highway from U.S. Route 52 (US 52) in Rural Hall, to US 158/US 29 Business (US 29 Bus.)/NC 87 in Reidsville. It passes through the counties of Forsyth (two instances), Stokes, Guilford, and Rockingham.
The signed highway begins at exit 152 of US 52 (John M. Gold Freeway) on the border between Winston-Salem and Rural Hall. The surface road continues southwest as Bethania-Rural Hall Road towards Bethania. NC 65 heads north towards Rural Hall's town center where it intersects NC 66. Heading northeast out of the town, it travels into a more rural area of Forsyth County before entering Germanton and has a concurrency with NC 8. During its one-mile-long (1.6 km) concurrency, NC 65 crosses into Stokes County. Between Germanton and Walnut Creek, NC 65 travels east staying just to the south of Town Fork Creek. After a brief concurrency with US 311, NC 65 has a short segment where it crosses a railroad at-grade and makes a left turn to continue towards Stokesdale. The highway reenters Forsyth County and passes to the south of Belews Lake. Through its second trip in Forsyth County, the road's surroundings is mostly forest except around the community of Belews Creek.
