In the tradition of small town lakeside communities, Lake Guntersville In Alabama is the perfect destination to unwind and relax. No matter what your budget, The largest lake in Alabama has a little something for everyone and should not be missed on any trip through north Alabama. I have included seven things to do in Lake Guntersville that will make your experience most memorable.

Lake Guntersville

#1- Visit Downtown Guntersville for quaint shops and antiques.

What downtown Guntersville lacks in size it more than makes up for in charm. Delightful shops, eateries and even a spa, give you a feeling of home. Browse through antiques, irresistible boutiques or grab a cup of coffee at one of the local establishments. Downtown Guntersville should be on your list of things to do.

#2 – Rent a boat on the largest lake in Alabama

Not fortunate enough to own a boat, that’s okay. Steve and I found several local establishments for boat rentals. We used Boat Mart to rent a boat for half the day and found the prices to be very reasonable. Of all the activities we enjoyed in Lake Guntersville, this was by far our highlight. Vast waterways ready to be explored along with a healthy dose of the sun’s rays created a peaceful, untroubled outing.

Boating took Steve back to an earlier time in his life and brought back fond memories.

#3 – House peeping on the waters of Lake Guntersville, AL

What is House Peeping you ask? I promise it’s not anything dirty. My guilty pleasure while on any lake is looking at the local real estate that lines the shore. The feeling that overcomes you when you imagine yourself someday being able to live like the rich with spectacular lake views. I had several day-dreams of hitting the lottery and being able to buy one of these luxury homes. #3 – house Peeping is best accomplished by boat, which is another reason why boating is a top pick.

Yes… This is someone’s house. Let’s see if you can find in on the lake.

#4 – The Rock House Eatery is where to eat in Guntersville, AL

This article is not my first at The Rock House Eatery. The Rock House Eatery is, in my opinion, the best casual and fine dining not only in Lake Guntersville but quite possibly the entire area. I would make the trip from Chattanooga to Lake Guntersville for this restaurant alone. Delectable food, drinks & atmosphere make this a favorite, so make reservations before you go. Rock House the where every visitor of lake Guntersville should dine at least once.

#5 Of Seven Things To Do In Lake Guntersville – Fire On The Lake:

Even though much of the town shuts down early, that’s not the case with Fire On The Lake. If you are in need of some tasty eats, adult beverages with a vibrant atmosphere, Fire on the Lake is the place to go. Inside and outside seating with a phenomenal view of the Guntersville lake would make this enough for me, but let’s add live entertainment to the mix, and you have found yourself a great place to have some fun.

#7 – Lake Guntersville State Park Lodge

It’s hard to believe the lodge is an Alabama State Park and not a private resort. You will want to spend the day here and maybe even consider booking a room at the lodge. Guests of the Lake Guntersville State Park lodge have access to a gorgeous pool that overlooks the lake.

Lake Guntersville state parks pristine views from high above give you a look at Lake Guntersville like none other. Family activities such as hiking, a man-made beach, and zip-lining (zip lines are an extra charge) will make the entire family happy.
