Hunter Bridge Boat Ramp provides access to a productive section of the Watauga River featuring an excellent mix of riffles, runs, and pools.

The ramp can experience heavy fishing pressure, particularly on weekends, with high water typically reaching this area approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes after TVA generation begins at Wilbur Dam.

Both wade anglers and boaters use this access point, making it suitable for various recreational activities on the river.
