Lake Tuscaloosa - The Secret's Out!

Created in 1970, this nearly 6000 acre, man-made lake is one of the best all-around recreation lakes in Alabama. Owned and regulated by the city of Tuscaloosa, this pristine landmark is a source of drinking water for the surrounding area.

Drawn to its excellent boating, skiing, swimming, and fishing, Lake Tuscaloosa is treasured by a mixture of permanent residents, summer vacationers and weekend retreaters looking for a respite from city life.

Each year, Lake Tuscaloosa is host to exciting bass fishing tournaments, both local and state. And apart from outstanding water sports, the lake's proximity to the exclusive North River Yacht Club offers access to one of the state's more prominent golf courses.

DIRECTIONS: Lake Tuscaloosa can be accessed by traveling North from Northport, AL on US Hwy 43, North on Al Hwy 69 or North on Rice Mine Road
