The word "Watauga" is a Native-American word meaning "the land beyond" however local reference to the name origin is attributed to the meaning "beautiful river" or "beautiful water".
The Watauga River runs right through the middle of Valle Crucis.
As we drove down river road in Valle Crucis, we noticed that there were several small makeshift bridges along the Watauga River just like this one.
I'm not sure if this is the Watauga dam or not but will check into and I'll update this post....

Wow, it's beautiful there. I'm not a good bridge-crosser at the best of times, so I think I'd have a rough time with the one in your photo here!
The photo of the falls is really lovely too.
Nice pictures, Yeti. We went on a drive up your way today and saw such beautiful scenery.
