Lake Guntersville State Park - Guntersville, AL
Rating
Overview
The Sun shining through fall leaves casts a red and gold light over
everything around you. A cool breeze gently brushes your face. The trail you are hiking
was used two hundred years ago by Cherokee Indians, and today it's easy to imagine you're
one of them. Rounding a bend, you stop. Fifteen feet beyond, a doe is grazing. She hears
you, stares for a moment, then bolts…
Reluctantly, you push your chair away from the dinner table. It's easy to understand why
you'll return time and time again to the lodge. You take a swing through the art gallery,
and then decide to make it an early night. You will be prowling around with your camera
first thing in the morning, on the lookout for American bald Eagles that spend winters in
the Park…
Your putter meets the ball with a decisive tap. Holding your breath, you watch it veer
right, then, at the last second, slide to the left and drop - kachunk - into the hole. You
smile. It was your best round yet. Strolling the short distance to the lodge, you check
your watch and decide to head for the Coffee Shop. It's time to join your friends for
lunch…You can find all this and more at Lake Guntersville State Park!
