Based on the latest available information, the Wilbur Dam Road boat ramp is located in Carter County, Tennessee, and is open to public use. It is a concrete boat ramp that is suitable for launching and retrieving small to medium-sized boats. The ramp is approximately 24 feet wide and has a gentle slope, making it easy to use for most boaters.

The boat ramp provides access to the Watauga River, which is a popular destination for fishing, kayaking, and other water-based activities. The Watauga River is a tributary of the Holston River and runs for approximately 78 miles through northeastern Tennessee and western North Carolina.

According to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA), motorized boats are permitted on the Watauga River, but there are certain regulations that must be followed. For example, boats are limited to a maximum speed of 35 miles per hour, and all boats must have proper safety equipment on board, including life jackets and fire extinguishers.

In addition to motorized boats, the Watauga River is also popular with kayakers, canoers, and other non-motorized watercraft. The TWRA encourages all boaters to be mindful of other users of the river and to follow all regulations and guidelines to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
