The NC High Country is blessed with several scenic rivers that flow through it–The New River which flows from Watauga County to Ashe County and north to Virginia, the Watauga River, which winds through Watauga County into Tennessee and fills beautiful Watauga Lake, and the Toe and Linville Rivers in Avery County. These rivers are cherished natural resources that provide outdoor recreational options for fishing, tubing, swimming and kayaking. There are many beautiful settings overlooking and adjoining these rivers and their tributary streams.
