River & Earth Adventures Watauga county, North Carolina whitewater outfitter     Kayaks Rafts The wonderful Watauga County scenery and the playfulness of the water beats anything. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside North Carolina you might find the rivers here a bit more manageable, so if you're not from around here don't forget that many of the sections in this state are safe for beginners. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors     have a lot of people coming here. If you're coming from Boone it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good rivers for that around here. The wild scenery of the Blue Ridge Mountains is great. Lodging is available near the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. Briefly about the general area: Why not take a refreshing hike along the Daniel Boone Scout Trail, and since you're here, you might as well pop by Hodges Gap.
