Currently there are four operating resort parks—Guntersville, Joe Wheeler, Cheaha and DeSoto—that host all kinds of fun including golf, boating and paddling, fishing, dining, camping, swimming, hiking and biking, and the list goes on. In addition to motel lodging, resort parks offer cabins, cottages, chalets and campsites.
