Whether you are a houseboater, skier, fisherman, sightseer, sunbather, or watersports lover, Norris Lake has it all. Norris Lake was created by the construction of the Norris Dam in 1936. This hydroelectric project was the Tennessee Valley Authority’s first. The lake’s beautiful blue-green waters span more than 800 miles of shoreline covering 34,000 acres. Norris’ boundaries extend up the Clinch and Powell rivers which feed Norris with clear, pristine waters. It’s an ideal environment for sportsmen and vacationers alike.

Houseboaters appreciate Norris’ undiscovered beauty. Less than 35 houseboats are available for rent on the entire lake. This allows you to enjoy the beauty of Norris Lake without a lot of other houseboat traffic. Plus, all Norris Lake rentals have holding tanks whereas some regional lake rentals allow dumping. Where have you been swimming lately?

Skiers can always find calm, protected waters. For the adventurous, two slalom courses and a jump are less than 5 miles from Sequoyah Marina. Waterski Magazine recently touted Norris Lake’s unique combination of undiscovered treasures.
