RIVERBEND RETREAT
Picture coming back from a relaxing day on the river to burgers on the grill and a spot ready beside them for the day’s catch.
Your kids are bubbling over with excitement about their trip to the local fossil site, and your wife is sitting by the fire with her friends, talking about the blissful views as they take in the cool mountain air.
Your surroundings are comfortable for the family, and everything is taken care of. With one of the nation’s best trout streams and the surrounding scenic beauty of Northeast Tennessee, it’s about time there was a classy fishing lodge on the Watauga River.
That’s the experience you will find at Watauga Riverbend Retreat, and a 7,000-square-foot home turned trout lodge located just above the trophy stream and just below a stretch of river that’s popular for recreational fishing and family float trips.
ADVENTURE FOR THE OUTDOORSMAN
When you stay at Watauga Riverbend Retreat, you’re right next to the action. The Watauga River is a 16-mile meandering stream that flows through some of the most majestic mountain countrysides in Tennessee. As the headwaters for the TVA reservoir system, Wilber Dam has daily water flows that create the perfect environment for arm-length rainbows, some of the prettiest brown trout you’ll ever see and there’s even a good bounty of striped bass where the river meets up with Boone Lake – all with a few short minutes from Riverbend.
