Blue Springs Dock

Blue Springs Dock is a fully accessible boat launch facility located in Speedwell, Union County, offering convenient access to Norris Lake on the Powell River system. This family-oriented marina provides a complete range of services including a well-maintained launch ramp, boat slips, gas and oil, marine supplies, bait, and restroom facilities—making it a practical choice for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats.

Norris Lake offers a large, stable water environment ideal for recreational paddling and boating. As part of the Powell River system (a Class 7 large river with an average flow of 1,438 cubic feet per second), the lake provides calm conditions for most water sports, though paddlers should be aware that the Powell River watershed drains a significant 895-square-mile area. The dock's location on the main body of Norris Lake makes it suitable for day trips and longer paddling excursions. With amenities like houseboat mooring rentals and covered boat slips available, this is a well-developed access point for both casual recreationalists and those seeking extended water-based activities.
