Watauga Lake, the third-cleanest lake in America, beckons water enthusiasts to Tennessee, just 45 minutes from Boone. Once there, you can enjoy a powerboat ride, picnic or just spend a few relaxing hours by water's edge.

In an area known for whitewater rafting, Watauga Lake allows visitors to slow down and enjoy the stunning scenery of the Cherokee National Forest and Appalachian Mountains of Northeastern Tennessee.

 


Created in 1942 by the Tennessee Valley Authority, Watauga Lake is located east of Elizabethton and southwest of Mountain City.

There, visitors can canoe, swim, fish or ride a sailboat. Not all lake activities are slow-paced, though. You can also water ski or skim the waves in a Jet Ski.

Various public facilities located along Highway 321, between two and nine miles east of Hampton, Tenn. offer some or all of the following: swimming, picnicking, hiking, fishing, camping and boat launch ramps.

In addition to public areas, Watauga Lake also features some excellent marinas and resorts.

They include:

Lakeshore Resort & Marina - Come to Lakeshore Resort & Marina for all your aquatic needs. Rent ski boats, fishing boats, pontoons and ski equipment for a reasonable price, then head out on the water for a fun-filled day.

If you're hungry after a long day on the water, pull up a chair at the Captain's Table, Lakeshore Resort & Marina's restaurant with a breathtaking view of the lake. Captain's Table specializes in seafood and also serves tasty steaks, chicken and specials of the day such as prime rib, crab cakes, barbecue ribs, seafood platter and fresh fried oysters.

Come to Lakeshore Marina for all your boating needs and The Captains Table for fine dining on Watauga lake….
