About Normandy Lake
Normandy Lake is a reservoir on the Duck River in Tennessee, operated by Tennessee Valley Authority. It's the only TVA reservoir on the Duck River. Its full summer pool sits at 875 ft above sea level. Live water levels come from the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and update hourly.
Understanding Normandy Lake's water level
"Full pool" is the elevation Tennessee Valley Authority targets when Normandy Lake is completely filled — 875 feet above sea level. As an upstream storage reservoir, Normandy Lake is filled toward 875 ft for the summer season and then pulled well below it over winter so TVA has room to catch floods — one of the widest seasonal swings you'll find on any lake.
Normandy Lake is usually near full from late spring into summer, then drops steadily through fall and winter to a low point before refilling in spring. If it looks low in December or January, that's the planned winter drawdown, not a drought.
The recent high and low above are drawn from the published history available for Normandy Lake, so they show how today compares over that record rather than an all-time extreme. The 12-month and 5-year chart views make the trend and the lake's usual seasonal shape easy to see.
