Norris Lake

The pristine waters of Norris Lake are nestled in the foothills of the Cumberland Mountains. Whether you enjoy fishing, swimming, water-skiing, sunbathing, or sightseeing, Norris Lake has something for everyone.

Norris Lake was created by the construction of the Norris Dam in 1936. This hydroelectric project was the Tennessee Valley Authority's first. The lake's beautiful blue-green waters span more than 800 miles of shoreline covering 34,000 acres.
