CARTER COUNTY
Carter County is nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains at the convergence of the Doe and Watauga Rivers. Elizabethton and Carter County provide residents, industries, and businesses with easy access to transportation through infrastructure of both state and federal highways, the US Interstate System and local and regional airports.
​
Carter County is known for its beautiful natural sites. From the Watauga, a trophy trout stream, to the peaceful waters of Watauga Lake, along the winding Appalachian Trail to the mile high Rhododendron Gardens on Roan Mountain, there’s something for everyone.
