    Tips

    January 30, 2024

    The Appalachian Trail passes right over the top of Watauga Dam and looks over Watauga Lake. With the Pond Mountain Wilderness to the south and the Big Laurel Branch Wilderness to the north, this is a wild and secluded part of the AT. Once you get away from the boaters at the marina, you'll have a lot of solitude in either direction.
