Whether your passion is fishing, boating, waterskiing, camping, golfing, or hiking, you can find it all at Norris Lake, Tennessee. Norris Lake is located between the Cumberland Mountains and the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains in eastern Tennessee. It is a man-made reservoir created by the construction of Norris Dam in 1936 by the Tennessee Valley Authority. Although the primary purposes of the dam are flood control and power production, Norris Lake has become the region's most visited recreational body of water. There are hundreds of miles of shoreline dotted with lots of great marinas where you can rent houseboats and jet-skis for a week of family fun in the sun. If you love the outdoors,you will find great deals on Norris Lake rentals and vacation packages from a host of local businesses.

Besides being an outdoor recreation destination, the Norris Lake real estate market is one of the hottest real estate markets in eastern Tennessee. The deep water, natural shorelines and stunning mountain views have combined to make Norris Lake real estate a hot commodity. Although once a relatively uninhabited area, Norris Lake now hosts many resorts, marinas, cabins, condos and multi-million dollar homes. Despite the rising real estate development, most of the shorelines remain untouched with many miles being protected as a wildlife refuge. Whether you are looking for a quiet place to retire or a nice vacation home, you may want to invest in a piece of Norris Lake real estate.
