Wilbur Dam Canoe Access is a TVA-managed boat ramp located at the upstream picnic area on Wilbur Lake, designated exclusively for non-powered watercraft such as canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards.

The access point features a covered picnic area and public restrooms, making it an ideal put-in for paddling trips down the scenic Watauga River. Exercise caution near the dam and powerhouse, and pay attention to all posted warning signs.
