Norris Dam State Park

City: Lake City, TN
Region: East Tennessee

This 4,038-acre park, located on the Norris Reservoir, began in 1933 as the first Tennessee Valley Authority project. Miles of trails lead hikers through deeply forested valleys and ridges. A gristmill built in the 1790s and restored by TVA still grinds corn daily during the summer months. Many other attractions await your finding at Norris Dam State Park.

Norris Dam is a good year-round birding location. The area offers a variety of habitats including Norris Lake, the river, riparian forests, mature woodlands, old fields and hedgerows, and a woodland stream.

Off I-75, Exit 128 (Lake City exit), turn left onto Hwy. 441, 3 mi. off exit.
