Watauga Lake - Tennessee

Watauga Lake is located in north east Tennessee and is surrounded by the beautiful mountains of the Cherokee National Forest.

Watauga Lake is located at an elevation of 1,959' at "Full Pool" making it Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA) highest elevation reservoir in Tennessee. With 100 miles of winding shore line, and a surface area of 6,430 acres, Watauga Lake is a small lake compared some in Tennessee. But what Watauga lacks in size, it more than makes up for with it's solitude and beauty.

Watauga Lake Fishing PierWatauga Lake was built by the TVA and completed in 1948 after a delay due to financial constraints of World War II. The lake is managed by the TVA for flood control and power generation. Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) has stocked various fish species for environmental enhancement and fishing opportunities.
