     Lake Lurleen State Park is named after Alabama’s only female governor.  Lurleen Wallace, the wife of former Governor George C. Wallace, was a native of Tuscaloosa County.  As governor she was instrumental in funding a major renovation project of Alabama State Parks.

    Lake Lurleen State Park is located 9 miles Northwest of the cities of Tuscaloosa and Northport, Alabama and is 14 miles from the campus of the University of Alabama, Home of the “Crimson Tide”

    1,625-acre park is a scenic lakeside retreat set on the banks of a 250-acre lake. The park facilities include a modern campground,  activity building, picnic area, play area, pavilions, beach with bathhouse, fishing piers, boat rentals and boat-launch areas.

    For those who like to explore and take in the local sights and culture, the cities of Northport and Tuscaloosa both offer unique experiences.  No trip would be complete without a visit to the University of Alabama campus and the Paul “Bear’ Bryant Museum  and Alabama’s Museum of Natural History.  There is also the renown Kentuck Art Festival held in Northport, which attracts many artists and craftsmen from the Southeast.

Lake Lurleen State Park host two major events each year.  The Annual Youth Fishing Tournament  and the Lake Lurleen Triathlon.      Please call the Park for more information at 205-339-1558 or email lakelurleenstpk@mindspring.com .
