Lake Lurleen State Park

Lake Lurleen State Park is a natural area with a lake and forest lands northwest of Northport that offers trails for outdoor recreation. The park connects hikers and cyclists through woodlands and along the water, with amenities scattered throughout the property.

The park was founded in 1952 as a recreation area for the region. It was renamed in 1972 to honor a notable political figure from Tuscaloosa County.

The Nature Center shows visitors the plants and animals that live in this region and explains how they interact with the water and forest. You can learn what wildlife calls this place home.

The park has camping sites with varying levels of facilities, from basic to fully equipped options for different types of stays. It helps to check in advance which amenities match your needs.

The trail network that circles the entire lake received special recognition as a national recreation route. This path system allows both walkers and cyclists to experience the shoreline and forest together.
