Norris Lake

Went a little different than my normal path would indicate this week and took a peek at Norris Lake with some of my family.
Norris Lake is located about an hour north of Knoxville and is widely regarded as the cleanest and best lake in Tennessee. I suppose I didn't really have a ton of experience going in as far as lakes go, but it was very pretty.
The first day after our arrival yielded an intriguing view due to the storm clouds lurking nearby.


It was...mysterious. We stayed on Cedar Creek, which runs into Norris Lake. And since the nearby hills drained into the mountains, the mist shrouded the hilltops. I will say that during these types of days (I was there about a week), I utilized the hot tub very often. I know right - a hot tub for an outdoor blog, but I'll take what I can get.


On a sunny day, the water was incredibly clear. It went about 15-20 feet to the bottom, and I could probably see about 10 feet.



The view from our dock as the sun set was spectacular. Even though there were no clouds to create marvelous colors, it still made for a peaceful and serene setting. And finally, I almost can't help myself. I had a chance to meet my less-than-a-month-old niece while there, and she is absolutely adorable. So, I had to include a pic of her too.
