Review:
Norris Lake is a reservoir that was built in the 1930s for flood control. Its surface area is approximately 33,000 acres, and with over 800 miles of shoreline, Norris Lake offers a plethora of options for activities. The lake is stocked with striped bass, crappie, and walleye as well as several other varieties of fish, and the lake, which is 129 miles long, is plenty big enough for all the fishers who try their luck on its waters. There is also plenty of room for recreational boaters, and it’s very common to find visitors trying their hand at watersports.
