Lake Lurleen, public reservoir located in Tuscaloosa County, in west central Alabama

Lake Lurleen is a 250-acre reservoir in Tuscaloosa County, about 1.5 miles long and 0.5 miles wide, with a maximum depth of 48 feet. It lies within Lake Lurleen State Park and holds largemouth bass, bream, catfish, and crappie.

The lake was created in the late 1960s and has since become a gathering place for regional visitors. Its creation as a reservoir was part of a broader effort to secure water supply for the area while also establishing a public recreation destination.

Lake Lurleen takes its name from Lurleen Wallace, the first woman elected governor of Alabama. The reservoir lies within Lake Lurleen State Park, so the name of the state's one-time first lady is attached to both the water and the surrounding recreation area.
