Recreation awaits you where the mountains meet the water. This beautiful lake extends 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, free launch facilities, restaurants, cabins, motels, houseboats and campgrounds. Maps available.

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. There are many access points to enjoy fishing and boating activities. Guide services and maps available.
