Lake Guntersville is located in north Alabama between Bridgeport and Guntersville. Alabama's largest lake contains 69,100 acres and stretches 75 miles from Nickajack Dam to Guntersville Dam. The lake is popular for fishing tournaments including ESPN and other nationally known tournaments. Free boat ramps and private marinas dot the lake's perimeter. Fishing, boating, camping, hunting and eagle watching are all popular sports for Lake Guntersville. Eagle watching centers on Guntersville State Park and the dam during the winter, though some bald eagles stay year-round. Guntersville Lake fish habitat includes milfoil and hydrilla weed beds from which big bass explode on topwater baits.
