Chewacla Lake
Chewacla offers a 26-acre lake fed by Moore's Mill Creek.
SWIMMING
The lake at Chewacla State Park is open year-round for swimmers. Swimming is at your own risk, as no lifeguards are on duty. Inside the roped-off area, you will find a high-dive platform.
FISHING
Chewacla Lake is teeming with Largemouth Bass, Crappie, and several species of Catfish and Sunfish. Fishing is allowed with an Alabama Fishing License, and guests must follow the general Alabama Fishing Regulations. There is no ramp to the water, and gas-powered boats are not allowed.
