Norris Dam State Park, State park in Anderson County and Campbell County, Tennessee
Norris Dam State Park extends across 4,000 acres of natural terrain, featuring wooded hills, lakes, and trails along the Clinch River banks.
The Tennessee Valley Authority constructed Norris Dam in the 1930s as part of President Roosevelt's New Deal program to control flooding and generate power.
The park maintains educational programs that teach visitors about Tennessee Valley Authority's influence on regional development through exhibits and guided tours.
Visitors can access camping areas with both RV hookups and tent sites, plus modern washrooms, picnic tables, and fire rings throughout the grounds.
The park contains two separate sections divided by Norris Lake, connected by the dam structure that serves both flood control and power generation purposes.
