Watauga Lake is truly one of THE MOST beautiful lakes in the country.  While that may seem to be an exaggeration, it is not. Upon seeing Watauga Lake for the first time, most visitors remark immediately at how unusual the aquamarine color is.  Many remark about how impressive the surrounding mountains rise right from the water's edge.

When you consider the rolling nature of the fertile mountains that encircle the lake, the clear, azure skies and the crystal clean waters of the lake itself, it's no wonder why people that visit the area, come back again and again.
