Large lake, great for tubing. Lots of coves and marinas to visit. We have the best time boating and swimming on this lake.

Visually clear water seems nice but the fishing is horrible, in warm weather speed boats, wake boats , and ski boats , and tubers , are insanely everywhere, clear water = not so good aquatic life , and maybe its not good for people ? Not much for natural life then whats wrong with the water? I mean think about it , really , ? The only people promoting this lake are selling b s .

We went to see Norris Lake looking for a vacation spot. The water was very low as usual in the fall/winter as the reservoir had not been opened yet. I could imagine it being a great place to be in the summer with several marinas as the water was so clear! The Deerfield community was about 15 miles off the main road only 2 lanes and very windy. I',m not sure I would like to tow a boat on it in the dark! We will go back and rent a place for sure.

Depending on what side of the lake you're on depends on what there is to do. Of course, if you have a boat that's where the real fun is. If you don't there's still a lot of stuff immediatley around it.

We loved Norris Lake. The cove that our house was located in was very quiet and relaxing. The water was deep and the perfect temperature. Boating was great and we enjoyed the jumping bridge. We'll be back for sure!
