Norris lake is a perfect place for kayaking of you find the right cove. This spot was located near blue ridge state park

Found a nice overlook on my trip down to Atlanta. I have decided to leave for any trip a hour early and find something I haven't seen in-between. This time it was the dam. I got there about 15 minutes before sunset. Colorized it some, but still like it.

I ended up talking to a lady for 30 minutes about the area. Seems I'v been missing out on a lot around here, especially if you like waterfalls. I'll have to be back.
