This section of the Watagua River begins just below Wilbur Dam and flows cold and clear. The flow is dam-controlled and offers a lively float through a mountainous valley. Bee Cliff Rapid, which is also, known as Anaconda is a Class III rapid but can be avoided. There are a few more rapids and islands that split the river. Stay off the river if TVA is not generating, as the current will be none. Take-out is at Riverside Park in Elizabethton.
