  • Other Info:



  • The Watauga Lake Triathlon was inspired by the picturesque countryside and pristine waters of Watauga Lake.
  • Watauga literally means "beautiful water" and it certainly holds true to its given name.
  • Watauga holds the distinction of being the highest reservoir (more than 1900 feet above sea level) in the Tennessee river system.
  • Surrounded by the Cherokee National Forest and flanked by the Appalachain Mountains, Watauga Reservoir is arguably the most scenic in the Tennessee River Watershed.
