Surrounded by a 69,000-acre lake, it’s no wonder life in Guntersville is all about the water.
Lake Guntersville is Alabama’s largest freshwater body of water and it’s home to multiple annual fishing tournaments. Next year, it will host one of the nation’s top speedboat races.
How many cities have a state park that features miles of shoreline, an 18-hole golf course and resort? Guntersville has it, as well as a museum that tells the history of the area, which was formed by the building of the Guntersville Dam in the 1930s. As with most waterfront areas, Guntersville is also home to several restaurants that specialize in seafood.
Guntersville is an adventurer’s heaven and only two hours from Chattanooga. What’s not to like?
