Norris Lake
Recreation awaits you

56 miles up the Powell River and 72 Miles up the Clinch River and is surrounded
by the majestic mountains of East Tennessee. With 34,000 acres and 800 miles of
shoreline, there always seems to be a secluded cove waiting for you. SO
whether you are fishing, camping, boating, or simply enjoying the picturesque
shoreline, you are sure to be satisfied with the Lake and the many marinas,
restaurants, cabins, motels, houseboats and campgrounds.

Norris Dam
Norris Dam was the
first dam built by the Tennessee Valley Authority in 1936 for flood control and
to bring efficient electrical power to East Tennessee. Norris Dam is 265
feet high and stretches 1,860 feet across the Clinch River. You can enjoy
the views of the mountains and valleys at the overlooks and trails that surround
the dam.
 Clinch
River
Many experienced anglers consider the
Clinch tail waters that flows 13 miles from Norris Dam, to be the finest
trout fisheries in the Country. The clear, shallow, slow-moving
Clinch demands a stealthy approach, delicate presentation, small flies and
draf-free drifts. It is very much like fishing a spring creek, but it is
over 75 years wide. To consistently catch its wild, wary rainbow and
brown trout requires concentration, careful execution and patience.
