    Norris Lake is absolutely beautiful. Such a great place for good old fashioned fun with family and friends! It was a hidden gem 💎 until many started discovering it a few years ago but it's beauty remains and is shared with more people today. 😊 There's so much to explore on Norris Lake from the plethora of coves, Marinas with great restaurants, floating with friends, fishing, tubing/sking/wake boarding and so much more! The fun is endless. The sunrises and sunsets are stunning. The fireworks are amazing 🤩, the stars are unlike anything you'll see in the city and it'll make you not want to leave. It's the magic of Norris Lake.

    Lovely place! The size allows for a variety landscapes/environments. Swimming is better in some places than other. Fairly clean water, also.

    Amazing lake with endless miles of water to explore. Most seems very undeveloped. We stayed on the lake for two weeks and rarely had to go to the same area once. Endless nautical miles of undisturbed nature. At times almost felt alone with no one else around. Found some very cool places to cliff dive. VERY DEEP LAKE so even on rocky shores there were places that were 40-50 feet deep. Lots of Marina's and places to go for food and fuel.

    Awesome place to swim, boat, and jet ski! You can camp or just grill for the day... Also, great people.
