Norris Reservoir in east Tennessee extends 73 miles up the Clinch River and 56 miles up the Powell from Norris Dam. It was the first dam TVA built, and is named for Senator George Norris of Nebraska, author of the legislation that created TVA. Norris is a popular tourist and recreation destination. In the 1930s, TVA established demonstration public parks at several locations on Norris Reservoir, including Cove Lake, Big Ridge, and the area around Norris Dam. These parks later became the nucleus of Tennessee’s state park system. Norris features numerous hiking trails.

SPARTA, Tenn. - Some of the most impressive waterfalls in Tennessee are tucked away in the geologic folds of the Cumberland Plateau. Some, like Fall Creek Falls and Burgess Falls, are surrounded by state parks, while others, like Virgin Falls in White County, are protected through the State Natural Areas program. Located about 20 miles southeast of Sparta, Virgin Falls is fed by an underground stream that emerges from a cave near the lip of the falls. After plummeting 110 feet, the stream immediately disappears again in another cave at the bottom of an eroded bowl at the base of the falls.
