This 34,900 acre lake was constructed in 1934 and has 880 miles of shoreline. Approximately 75-80% of Norris Lake shoreline is owned
by the TN Valley Authority (TVA) Wildlife Management Areas, state and city parks, municipalities and marinas
Norris Lake is the second largest and the deepest lake in the TVA chain. Because there is no industry or pollution on
the lake, it is the cleanest of all the TVA lakes!
There is usually visibility to 20-25 feet.
Two rivers, the Clinch and the Powell, feed Norris Lake.
The main channel (deepest part of the lake) runs
directly in front of the property
at Lone Mountain S
hores.
Located in the Tennessee counties of Anderson, Campbell, Union, Claiborne, and Grainger, Norris Lake has the largest flood control storage capacity of any lake on a tributary of the Tennessee River.
