Norris Lake, Tennessee
Norris lake is located between the Cumberland Mountains and the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains in eastern Tennessee.

The dam impounded the Clinch and Powell Rivers to create over 34,000 acres of a beautiful pristine lake. Although the primary purposes of the dam are flood control and power production, Norris Lake has become the region’s most visited recreational body of water.
