Lake Guntersville State Park, State park in Guntersville, Alabama
Lake Guntersville State Park extends across 6,000 acres of natural woodlands, featuring forests, meadows, and direct access to Alabama's largest lake.
The Tennessee Valley Authority transferred 4,000 acres to create Little Mountain State Park in 1947, which later became Lake Guntersville State Park.
The park's convention center and lodge maintain regular programs focused on regional environmental education and nature interpretation throughout the seasons.
The park maintains 321 camping sites with utility connections, bathhouses, and picnic areas, plus a resort lodge containing modern rooms and dining facilities.
Two tornadoes struck the park in April 2011, leading to extensive renovations including the planting of 400 new trees and upgraded camping facilities.
