About Lake Guntersville State Park

This Alabama state park sits on the banks of the Tennessee River in the northeastern part of the state. Visitors can choose a resort-style stay or an outdoor trip through its roughly 6,000 acres of woods. Recreation includes an 18-hole golf course, a zipline, a beach complex, a nature center, and fishing on the state's largest lake. The park also offers dozens of miles of hiking and biking trails, guided hikes, and a day-use area. Each winter, select weekends in January and February bring Eagle Awareness programs focused on the bald eagle. Lodging ranges from a campground and lakeside cabins to mountaintop chalets and a resort lodge. The park also hosts meetings and events in its convention center.
