Carter County, Tennessee, the Perfect Destination for Outdoor Adventure
Tucked into the mountains of Northeast Tennessee, Carter County is Tennessee’s Mountain Playground. With beautiful Watauga Lake, the Watauga and Doe rivers, and stunning mountain vistas you’ll see why it’s the perfect mountain getaway. Below you’ll find just a sampling of what Carter County has to offer, visit www.tourcartercounty.com to find out more.
ROAN MOUNTAIN
One of the Appalachian Trail’s most popular sections runs across the Roan Mountain balds. After walking through a fragrant evergreen forest, you’ll take in stunning panoramic views from the top of the balds on a hike that can be as short as 1 mile or as long as you want it to be. If you visit Roan in the summer, be sure to stop by the world’s largest natural rhododendron garden which usually reaches its peak bloom in June creating a sea of pink flowers.
Roan Mountain State Park sits at the base of the mountain. With tent and RV camping as well as cabins for rent it makes a perfect base camp for your mountain adventure. With miles of hiking and biking trails, fishing in the Doe River, a swimming pool and more, you’ll find plenty to do without ever leaving the park.
After a long day exploring the mountain you’ll be ready to eat. Smoky Mountain Bakers wood-fired pizza is a great choice, or if you want a burger and ice cream Bob’s Dairyland is the place to go.
WATAUGA LAKE
If spending time on the water is your idea of a good time, Watauga Lake and the Watauga River which flows from it are the perfect solution. Surrounded by mountains and the Cherokee National Forest the lake is a pristine escape.
