Pioneer Landing
is the easternmost marina on Watauga Lake. It is
a special place for many visitors to the lake
and its property is the site of significant
local Cherokee Indian history. Dan
and Deanna Livorsi purchased the property
in 1988. At that time, the site contained a
popular store which Dan and Deanna continued to
operate until their sons were born in the late
1990s.
The Livorsi's home is in the original store.

Pioneer Landing has been
called "Little Boone" over the years because so many of its
summer campers come from nearby Boone, North Carolina. The
campsites and marina are easy to reach from Highway 321, a
major route from Boone to Tennessee. Although the site
was originally used primarily for tent camping, over the
years the Livorsis cleared and developed the property
to house campers year 'round. Campers stay or visit on
weekends April through October.

The Livorsis also represent
Cherokee Floating Docks and have built and installed
many of the docks on Watauga Lake. Their projects have
ranged from large covered docks for the major marinas to
individual docks for homeowners.
If your Watauga Lake home or development needs a dock, give
them
a call at (423) 768-3164.
