Lake Norris

Surrounded by majestic mountains in East Tennessee, Lake Norris covers over 33,000 acres, with over 800 miles of shoreline. The lake is a reservoir created in the 1930s with the construction of Norris Dam, and is a favorite vacation spot for swimming, fishing, and boating. The town of Norris was established for construction workers and their families while the dam was being built, and is now a charming, hospitable town offerings its residents access to hundreds of secluded coves, 2 state parks, two wildlife management areas, commercial marinas and trails for hikers, mountain bikers, and horseback riders.

Some residents so love living on the lake that they choose to live on the lake; permenant houseboat neighborhoods can be found on Lake Norris. Considered to be one of the best lakefront communities in Tennessee, Lake Norris just might be your ideal new home.
