Valle Crucis Community Park offers excellent river access with ample parking (including overflow lot), making it ideal for tubing, fishing, and paddling on the Watauga River.

The park features a boat ramp/put-in area along with extensive amenities including restrooms, water fountains, playground, paved track, and covered pavilions.

This is a delayed-harvest trout stream section with multiple tubing run options, and a NC fishing license (available nearby at Mast General Store) is required for fishing.
