TVA’s Cleanest Lake

Norris Lake is known as the cleanest lake in the Tennessee Valley Authority’s system, but it does have a few minor problems. Some people misuse the lake and use its shoreline to illegally dump, and some users forget to take their trash home after their trip to the lake. Help sustain Norris Lake’s beauty and clear waters when you visit by making sure all your trash is thrown away.
