It is a fantastic peaceful area on Norris Lake in TN. They have reasonable cabins for rent, but not air conditioned. They also have paddle boats and canoes to rent, plus a swimming area. There are several playgrounds and some hiking trails. They have children's activities in the summer. More

It's a really nice state park--great for picnics and cookouts. There are paddle-boats for the lake too! The cabins are nice to stay in, but no TV unless you bring your own. More

As far as I'm concerned this is an outstanding State Park. Tennessee certainly is blessed with all of the State Parks they have. This one is beautiful. Will certainly be back, hopefully many times. More

They really need to figure out a way to clean up and stop this problem. The beach is not that pretty as a state park... More
