About this campground

These state scenic parkways follow the shoreline of Watauga Lake, accessing several national forest recreation areas and providing scenic views of the lake and forest lands on Iron Mountain. The highways split east of the lake, where both individual routes pass through farmlands, rural communities and scenic mountain views toward Boone, NC and Mountain City, TN.
