The lake home was built in the early 1930's to house the engineers constructing the entire TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) system that created dams and hydro-electric power throughout the region.

Please note this is an old, quaint home. It has its quirks.

    Norris Lake experiences mild winters, with January temperatures near 30ā€“48Ā°F (-1ā€“9Ā°C), and warm summers reaching around 89Ā°F (32Ā°C) in July and August. Rain falls regularly, so packing layers and a rain jacket can be helpful for outdoor plans.

All about Norris Lake

At the foot of the Cumberland Mountains, with the vibrant town of Knoxville to the south and the Chuck Swan Wildlife Management Area to the north, Norris Lake is one of the more popular recreational destinations in Tennessee. The lakeā€™s 800 miles of coastline are studded with several state parks, small communities, bars and restaurants, and more than 20 marinas with boat rentals available. Rent a boat from one of the local outfitters, and you can explore various coves and bays by motorboat, kayak, or canoe. After a busy afternoon on Norris Lake, you can enjoy a meal from one of the floating or waterfront restaurants, many of which offer boat parking and live music.

What are the top things to do in Norris Lake?

Museum of Appalachia

The Museum of Appalachia is a 65-acre recreation of a pioneer-era village and one of the areaā€™s most expansive and detailed historical sites. Youā€™ll find dozens of historically accurate structures here such as barns, schools, and cabins ā€”Ā along with hundreds of thousands of artifacts, including instruments, textiles, and art ā€” from pioneer settlements and regional Indigenous tribes.

Big Ridge State Park

More than a dozen miles of hiking trails wind among dense hickory forests, along meandering streams, and through lush valleys in this state park along the southern shores of Norris Lake. You can cool off from a long hike by swimming at the beaches here, or make use of the many public sporting courts and facilities.

Paddling on the Lake

Motorized watercraft are the most popular kind of boat on Norris Lake, but exploring the coasts with a kayak or paddleboard provides a unique way to experience the area. Hundreds of coves and inlets around the lake ā€” most only accessible by water ā€” house dramatic rock formations, waterfalls, and secluded beaches. Paddling your way around the sights allows you to access several inlets too small for larger motorboats to enter, creating a truly intimate and tranquil experience on the lake.
