Boat Rentals

Boat Rentals are available at most of the marinas listed above.

Try the Carefree Boat Club at Lakeshore Marina on Watauga Lake with an alternative to renting. They offer shared boat ownership that enables you to have access to a boat without buying it. There’s an initiation fee plus a monthly fee that provides access to a boat when you need it.

Pioneer Landing is the easternmost marina on Watauga Lake. It is a special place for many visitors to the lake and its property is the site of significant local Cherokee Indian history.

Although the site was originally used primarily for tent camping, over the years the Livorsis have cleared and developed the property to house campers who stay through the summer or visit on weekends April through October.

It would be hard not to use the word family when describing the atmosphere of today’s Pioneer Landing. Many campers have been spending their summers here for over a decade and the late spring-early summer time has the feel of a reunion.
