Sugar Hollow Marina

Sugar Hollow Marina is a full-service launch facility on Norris Lake near LaFollette, Tennessee, offering convenient access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. The marina features a boat ramp alongside comprehensive amenities including a ship store, fuel, fishing supplies, and equipment rentals (tubes, kneeboard, ski equipment, and SUP boards). Covered boat slips are available for both daily and yearly use, and the facility also offers vacation and houseboat rentals for extended stays.

Norris Lake is a large impoundment with relatively calm, stable conditions compared to the Powell River's natural state. The surrounding watershed is substantial at 895 square miles with an average flow of 1,438 cubic feet per second, but the dam creates a managed reservoir environment well-suited for recreational paddling and boating. Sugar Hollow Marina's location near the popular Cedar Creek Jumping Bridge makes it an ideal starting point for exploring the lake's recreational areas. Paddlers should note that this is a developed, heavily-used recreational facility, so expect other watercraft and activity typical of a full-service marina environment.
