Wilbur Lake

Located in Carter County, Tennessee, this scenic lake is small -- only 72 acres surface area and 1.8 miles long -- and is situated just below Watauga Dam. The Watauga Power Company built the 375-foot-long, 77-foot-high Wilbur Dam on the Watauga River in 1912. TVA purchased the dam and lake in 1945, rehabilitated the dam, and placed it back into service generating power in 1950. It is the second oldest dam in the TVA system. Because of the extremely cold water, fishing is limited to rainbow and brown trout, which are regularly stocked.
