    Just visited on September 10th 2021 Stunningly Beautiful today. This location has EVERYTHING for a good FREE time. Whether you are solo or with a group. All the facilities you need including bathrooms 🚻. Take the short but amazingly beautiful drive along the lake. Here's some pictures.

    My husband and drove to Watauga Lake area to visit family recently. Storm clouds were in sky but area is beautiful for a scenic drive. Watauga Point was busy with people having a picnic, swimming in the lake, and just relaxing around. Dogs were having fun in lake too. There were restrooms at this location.

    My happy place! I love this spot! Been here several times, even on Holidays and it's never packed. We always find a parking spot and it's a perfect spot to start off with kayaks or paddleboards. Several benches with grills, restrooms nearby, large grassy areas. Water is great, only lake is Tricities that I get in, very clean.

    Gorgeous viewing area of the mountains and the lake. Nice clean bathrooms with picnic area. Such a pristine moment as when we pulled up, there was a sail boat festival of some sort.
