NOTICE TO ALL: To ensure that our rent paying customers have priority parking spaces for the busiest holiday of the year, our launch ramp and parking lot will be closed to launch parking between the hours of 6am and 6pm, July 1st through July 5th, 2021. All vehicle parking will be for those who rent a slip, rent a campsite, or rent a pontoon or paddle-craft. This closure includes those launching kayaks, canoes or paddleboards from their vehicles. No permits will be issued for multi-day parking for lake camping. Absolutely no "lake pick ups" will be allowed (parking here to jump on a boat originating from another marina, house or public ramp). The ramp may be open for night fishermen from 6pm to 6am, but ramp-use will be at the sole discretion of the night attendant during those times. We hope to return to a normal schedule beginning July 6th, 2021. Thank you in advance for your loyalty, patience and understanding.

Michelle & Thomas White
Fish Springs Marina is the oldest continuously operating marina on beautiful Watauga Lake, having been in the White family for three generations beginning with Ray White the day the lake opened in 1949. Tom White passed the torch to his son in 2001 and Fish Springs Marina is now owned and operated by Thomas White, grandson of the original founder. Watauga Lake is the perfect family-oriented destination for boating, fishing, camping or sightseeing excursions and Fish Springs Marina is your gateway to family fun on the water!
