Watauga

The directions to the take out are WRONG. The road is called Tester, not Stansberry or Watson Island (I know the area at the take out is Watson Island). I took Stansberry which resulted in my four-wheeling through private property for almost an hour. If you take Stansberry and follow the directions on this page you come up a hill and into a set of trees with a hidden 1/2' steel cable tied across at the perfect level to completely rip off and destroy a rack as I found out. As far as I can tell, there was no other reason for the cable and that the landowner must be sick of lost kayakers driving through his property so he set up a trap. Be warned, do not take Stansberry Rd, it cost me a $300 rack and messed my car up. I'll end my rant now, but you'd think AW would have good directions to their own property.
