Residing in the foothills of the Cumberland Mountains, the lake was created by the Tennessee Valley Authority when the Norris Dam was constructed. It stretches over 33,000 acres, including 50 miles up both the Powell and Clinch Rivers. The Cumberland Gap, used to access the west during Colonial times, is also just north of Norris Lake.
