Whitewater Rafting
Our
Cabin Rental in East Tennessee is
located on the Watauga River, which is a
renowned NC and TN Whitewater rafting river.
Perfect for the entire family, the Watauga
River whitewater rapids are dam controlled,
and from the spring to fall seasons the
waters are just right for enjoying a
Tennessee Whitewater Rafting Trip. First
time rafters love rafting the Watauga River
as the rapids are calmer, making for a more
relaxing adventure.
The biggest rapid on the Watauga River is the Anaconda, a class III rapid, and most
of the rapids are only class II and class
III rapids. Large groups enjoy TN whitewater rafting on the Watauga River and many
of the commercial rafting trips provide a
nice cooked lunch to enjoy while you spend
the day on the water.
The most popular put in spot on the Watauga
River is located in Carter County and is
found downstream from the TVA managed
Wilbur Dam. Rafters can float the Watauga
River all the way downstream to the
“take-out” spot which is approximately 2 to
2 1/2 hours away (rafting time) to the
other side of
Elizabethton. Taking you
through some phenomenal mountain scenery,
while rafting the Watauga River you’ll get to see
the area known as the Bee Cliff, float past
the Siam Old Steel Bridge, and gaze out at
the Carter Mansion which towers on the
hillside. The distance from the put in spot
at Wilbur Dam and the take out spot at Blackbottom near Elizabethton TN is seven
miles; the perfect distance for a leisurely
white water rafting experience.
Our
East Tennessee
Vacation Rental in the
mountains is located right along the Watauga
River and close to all of the fun
Things to
Do in the Northeast Tennessee Mountains.
