River and Earth Adventures
Todd, North Carolina · Fishes Watauga River
On the North Carolina Watauga this is a paddling operation rather than a fishing one. The river winds through Valle Crucis, and the company runs canoeing, tubing and recreational kayak shuttles on it and on the New, choosing between the two depending on water level. The Valle Crucis stretch is sold as being minutes from Boone, which makes it the short-notice option for people staying in the High Country. Guided canoe trips are offered alongside self-guided rentals, and rentals are priced by how long you want rather than by a fixed itinerary – an hour on the river or the whole day – with canoes at 65 dollars including the shuttle and unlimited tubing at 25. Tube trips run all day from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Guided canoe trips are quoted on request rather than listed. Note that the company Watauga rafting trip is a different river section altogether, in Tennessee.
