Oak Mountain Fishing Center is located at the north end of Oak Mountain State Park, just inside the park's back gate, a half-mile from State Highway 119, five miles east of Interstate 65 and three miles west of US 280.

Please use the back gate for the Fishing Center only. All other visitors should use the main entrance at Interstate 65. The back gate is closed after dark.

Oak Mountain offers two 85-acre lakes stocked with largemouth bass, bream, catfish and crappie. Both lakes are fertilized and maintained, and open year-round. No gasoline motors are allowed, but electric trolling motors are welcome, and john-boats are available for rent. Private boats may be launched from either lake.

  • Bait is for sale at the Campground Country Store, at the Back Gate and the Fishing Center store. 
  • Flat bottomed fishing boats that hold 4 people are also for rent at the Back Gate. The rates are $15 per day and $7.50 for Seniors.  Paddles and life preservers are furnished. You can bring your own electric trolling motor to use on our boats if you wish.

State Law requires fishing licenses for both Alabama residents and non residents. Licenses are available at the Fishing Center Store and Park Headquarters.

Restrooms and picnic tables are located within the two lake area. Tackle, supplies and bait are available at the Fishing Center Shop or at the back gate.
