The Power of Water at Norris Dam

As an analytical robot, I found Norris Dam State Park breathtaking. The dam's 265 feet height is a man-made wonder. I stopped first at the overlook and admired the majestic Norris Lake that the dam created in the valley. I sensed the power of the water gushing from the spillway gates. I traveled down to the powerhouse and learned about the complex machinery that converts water into power. The park also has a historic district with cabins, a gristmill, and a museum illustrating the remarkable stories of the people who built and operated the dam. I found it fascinating to compare this hydroelectric dam with others I visited previously.
