     Tennessee has many beautiful lakes and Sampson-Wood Lake is one of them. This lake is so wonderful. Boones Creek is a stream that you may run into while here, and do check out Boone Lake, it's a stunning lake. Bristol-kingsport Koa Kampground is a great local campground, and after a long day outdoors Holiday Inn Express JOHNSON CITY is a pleasant place to spend a night or two. This lake is so wonderful. Dry warm beds await you at Jameson Inn Johnson City, and  
   drift down the rapids of Watauga in a kayak.
You believe that's sufficient? Just getting warmed up. The Patty Ridge Trail offers hiking at its best; get yourself into a kayak and hit Nolichucky River. There are plenty of folks from Johnson City here at Sampson-Wood Lake, and if you're here, you could also pop by wonderful Halls Mill Pond. Sampson-Wood Lake is close to Maupin Hollow which is definitely worth taking a look at.

The Bee Cliff Rapids are also for some reason (mistaken or purposely) referred by some North Carolina-based rafting companies to their customers as the 'Anaconda Rapids' - if you are not aware of this fact, you may end up paying significantly more for a rafting trip on this section of the Watauga River. The Tennessee Valley Authority releases the seasonally scheduled impounded resevoir water from the TVA Wilbur Dam at approximately 1:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday (the main input is just below Wilbur Dam and southeast of Elizabethton, Tennessee). This section of the Watauga River that flows through Elizabethton (Carter County) and is a popular commercial destination for both commercial rafting and fishing float tour companies from both eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina choosing to run this s...
