Norris Lake sits
along the southern border of Claiborne County. With 850 miles of
shoreline, the lake offers some of the finest fishing in the state.
This is an angler's paradise with tons of largemouth bass, crappie,
striped bass, rock fish, bream, catfish and a bounty of large walleye
and sauger.
The first of the T.V.A. lakes built in the late '30s, Norris Lake is
fed by two large rivers, the Clinch and the Powell. We are proud of
our many boat docks and camping facilities. The lake is also large
enough for all types of water sports.
One can spend many an hour visiting the numerous historical sites in
Cumberland Gap National Park. Explore a completely restored pre-Civil
War town with log cabins, a one-room schoolhouse and blacksmith shops
just as they were over a century ago.
Relax on the campgrounds or learn about our legacy in the large
headquarters building, which features lectures, films and guided tours
that will |

take you back into the
days when Daniel Boone came through the pass.
Excellent hunting abounds on thousands of protected woodland acres.
Trophy white-tail deer, wild turkey, waterfowl, ruffed grouse, bob
white quail, squirrel, small game and other animals such as foxes
and raccoons run rampant in our lovely countryside.
