Lake Guntersville State Park

If you want to get away from it all, then consider a trip to Alabama's Lake Guntersville State Park. Spend a day, a week or longer in a chalet, a cozy cottage by the lake or in the resort lodge on Taylor Mountain. This state park offers you all the amenities you need to help you rest and relax while you enjoy the beauty of nature.

Housing

You can select from a range of housing accommodations when you visit this park. Bring your tent and gear and set up your campsite along the banks of the Tennessee River. If you prefer catered living, then consider renting a cabin or cottage near the lake, opt for the luxury of the mountaintop resort lodge and chalets or stay in one of the rooms conveniently located near the convention complex.

Activities

Spend your time lazing on a hammock near the river, hiking the natural woodlands that encompass over 6,000 acres, walking or bicycling the trails, playing golf or fishing, and because there are a number of ramps within easy access of the lake, you can bring and launch your own boat to spend an entire day catching many different species of fish. If you do not have a boat, then you can rent a canoe, pontoon or fishing boat at the Town Creek Fishing Center for a nominal fee.

Fall scenery

If fishing, hiking or golfing are not your idea of a good time, you are sure to enjoy the serenity of this park in the fall when you gaze upon the brilliantly-colored leaves as the sunlight filters through them and illuminates them to the colors and richness of fine jewels. Perfect for a day trip or a weekend getaway, enjoy the natural pageantry that abounds within the park.

Lake Guntersville State Park offers you so much in the way of relaxation that you definitely enjoy your stay, and you are sure to return home relaxed and ready to get back into the daily grind.
