?? SEASONAL Lakefront ??
The original purpose of damming up the Clinch and Powell Rivers to form Norris Lake was for flood control and economic development (inexpensive hydroelectric power). Recreation on Norris Lake was something that came years and years later - starting with fishermen ...

Lakefront or Lakeview Lots ??? That is the question.
Many folks I talk to on a weekly basis purchased a lakeview lot a couple of years ago and are now ready to turn that lot over for profit. They are often very surprised to hear from me that a profit on a lakeview lot is not typical. If you purchase a lakeview ...

Full pool and beyond!
I love Norris Lake when it is at full pool - 1020 ft above sea level. We are on a deep year round cove and, in the winter, we can see a rocky shoreline as the lake recedes. I never realized how much I miss the lake lapping at the bottom of the lot's shoreline ...
