Come Experience the Norris Highlands

An emerald lake, wide open spaces, a rich heritage of culture, music and history await you in this East Tennessee vacation playground. With over 800 miles of shoreline, Norris Lake is perfect for boating, kayaking, canoeing, camping, and fishing. The Chuck Swan WMA located at the confluence on the Clinch and Powell Rivers and the 72,000 acre Coal Creek OVH provide activities for hunters, bikers, ATV enthusiasts and wildlife watchers.

For history buffs, the Museum of Appalachia and the Cumberland Gap National Historic Park relate the stories of the early settlers of the area. More recent history is alive in the once secret city of Oak Ridge where the atomic bomb was built as part of the Manhattan Project.

Come explore all the Highlands has to offer.
