Your Norris Lake, Tennessee getaway

Clear water, quiet coves and mountain views — closer than you think.

Nature's playground

Norris Lake winds through East Tennessee with over 800 miles of scenic shoreline — a favorite for boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing and hiking. The water is famously clear, and the quieter coves stay calm most of the day.

Parsons Shores Lodge sits on the less crowded side of the lake in Sharps Chapel, with our own private covered dock and swim platforms just steps from your door, and a couple of great marinas close by for fuel, rentals and dining.
