Welcome!  We live here and think that Carter County Tennessee is one of the finest places in the world for those who love the outdoors. If it is outdoor Appalachian recreation you are looking for, this is it.

This is a hikers paradise with many easily accessible trails, including the Appalachian Trail.  Watauga Lake is one of the nicest TVA reservoirs and grows the biggest trout in Tennessee.  Roan Mountain is arguably the most beautiful place on earth when the rhododendron bloom in June.  Local lakes, rivers, and streams offer world class trout fishing.  The Wilbur Dam controlled Watauga River has moderate whitewater for kayaks and rafting. The wild Doe River and Elk River offer mild to extreme kayak whitewater depending on the flow. Numerous waterfalls and gorges dot the landscape. Deer, wild turkeys, bears, ruffed grouse and a diversity of other critters roam the forests and valleys.  View the photo gallery for some snapshots of the area.  Find a road map here. 

There are many reasons for getting outside.  Less crowded than the Smokies, there is still plenty of elbow room. All seasons have something to offer. Spring wildflowers, summer water fun, fall foliage, winter skiing and lake trout fishing.  Year round hiking.  Check our weather page before heading outside. Experience our virtual hike to Laurel Falls here. For a topographic map try here.

The Wataugans outdoor drama at Sycamore Shoals State Recreation Area and professional baseball with the Elizabethton Twins are some examples of the entertainment available in the summer.  Most Saturday nights, April through October, the Carter County Car Club sponsors a cruise-in somewhere in town.  Race times in Bristol bring many visitors to Elizabethton.  If you live here, or are just visiting, and need some more information, try our links page.
