Norris Dam State Park

"We enjoyed an evening painting with Ranger Hayley. Tennessee State Parks offer a wide range of activities led by park rangers. Go to their website under events to plan your next adventure."

"My husband and I love visiting this Park. We always stop to fish and sight see. The water here is always so beautiful and crystal cleaner."

"Norris Dam State Park is a great place to spend the day enjoying historic buildings and nature. The dam is surrounded by woodlands in the valley and up on top of the cliffs. The Dam was built by CCC personnel, and the remaining pieces of their camps are in the woods. My wife and daughter both seem to enjoy the views and taking picnics and walks inside the park. We have rented a cabin and spent a relaxing 2 days in the park. The beds are comfortable and warm as well as the shower was quite nice. We have visited the grist mill and museum. I enjoy how the museums celebrate the lives of people who farmed and lived in the East Tennessee Valley. Overall, it was a fantastic place to hang out. Hopefully, I will get to return many times for more exploration and adventure."

"Why to the Norris Dan State Park for my nieces wedding. We arrived at night and were welcomed with a beautiful view of the dam, all lit up at night. When we arrived at cabin 22, it was cute and inviting. We had a fantastic experience here and are already planning on returning next summer with the kids when we can spend more time hiking and exploring the lake."

"Attended a wedding here, reception in the Tea Room, and stayed in the CCC cabins. Every detail was excellent, and the park was immaculately clean. Beautiful views and lookouts. We just wish we had more time to spend here!"
