Resting along the shores of Norris Lake in Anderson Campbell Counties, the Norris Dam State Park is a state park that is home to beautiful landscapes and provides a wide range of outdoor and recreational activities. Boasting 4,000 acres and over 800 miles of shoreline on the shores of the Norris Reservoir, an impoundment of the Clinch River created in 1936, the park features two campgrounds with water and electric hook-ups, overnight historic and modern cabins, and a fully equipped marina with boat ramp available, and house and pontoon boats to rent. Activities in the park include recreational boating, water-skiing, swimming, and fishing, along with hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking, and attractions include the Lenoir Museum, the 1798 Rice Gristmill, and the Caleb Crosby Threshing Barn that dates back to the 1830s.
