Normandy Dam Site

Normandy Dam Site provides access to Normandy Lake on the Duck River in Coffee County, Tennessee. This is a large river system with a drainage area of 3,454 square miles and an average flow of 5,719 cubic feet per second. The dam creates a lake environment that offers a different experience than the flowing river sections, making it suitable for various watercraft. The Duck River is a significant waterway with a total length of 284 miles and substantial elevation changes throughout its course.

The access point is located near Normandy in an area with moderate elevation. Given the dam's presence, boaters can expect calmer water conditions in the lake pool area compared to the free-flowing sections of the Duck River downstream. The river's average velocity of 3.31 feet per second and moderate gradient make this a navigable section for most small craft. The large drainage area indicates this water body receives significant flow from a broad watershed, so water levels can fluctuate seasonally.

Boaters should note that this is a substantial waterway system with established infrastructure. The specific amenities at this access site, including parking details, launch type, and facility hours, should be confirmed directly with local management or the dam operator before visiting, as conditions and access policies may change seasonally.
