The Chuck Swan Wildlife Management Area occupies 24,444 acres on the Central
Peninsula on the east shores of Norris Lake, the confluence of the Powell and
Clinch rivers. Elevation 1020' to 1660 at the fire tower. The area consists of over
75 miles of rolling gravel and dirt roads through pine and hardwood forests with

this road is not open to bicyclists, horses, or ATVs. There are numerous dirt roads
looping off the Main Forest Rd. Also many side roads and trails down to the lake
and 100's of picnic areas. There are 47 known old cemeteries, some dating to the
early 1800's the resting places of many of the early Tennessee pioneers . All major
roads are named and marked at intersections. A Shooting Range just off Main
Forest Road (Description- Public - Outdoor Pistol, Outdoor Rifle, Muzzle loading)

The area is administered and owned by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources
