Guntersville Lake

Guntersville Lake is located between Bridgeport Alabama and Guntersville Alabama. The lake is 75 miles long and is Alabama’s largest lake with 69,000 acres.

The lake was created by Guntersville Dam along the Tennessee River. Both the lake and the dam received their names from the town of Guntersville, which received its name from an early settler of the area, John Gunter.
