Lake Guntersville Day Trips
Lake Guntersville, the largest lake in Alabama, sits about 40 minutes southeast of Huntsville and is a popular day trip for boating, fishing, and winter eagle watching. Its City Harbor development on the Guntersville waterfront anchors a cluster of lakeside restaurants and bars — including Levi's on the Lake and Nash's — while longtime favorites like Top O' the River (catfish) and Rock House Eatery draw diners from across North Alabama. Lake Guntersville State Park adds hiking trails, a lodge, and a golf course.
