| We have done this several times now. If you have never seen the other side of the dam, here is your chance. We will have an evening picnic atop the Watauga Lake Dam on Saturday, July 26, then anchor out for the night. We will set up a buoy line in the cove on the left bank just upstream of the dam. You can tie your boat up there and dinghy over to the shore. If you have a dinghy bring it. If you don't have a dinghy, don't worry, someone else will be happy to take you to the shore.
It is a quarter mile walk along an old construction road and the Appalachian Trail to the top of the dam. Bring a picnic basket, blanket or chairs and your own food and drink. We will set the buoy line up in the afternoon. Plan on being there before 5:00 PM so we can dinghy everyone over and start eating at 6:30. Depending on the wind and weather, we will either stay on the buoy line or move to a better location for the night. Don’t forget to bring something for breakfast ! |
