| State Park Overview: |
| In the Tennessee Valley, overlooking the majestic 69,000-acre Guntersville Reservoir, this park ranges over 6,000 acres of natural woodlands. The park has an 18-hole championship golf course, a beach complex, fishing center, hiking trails, nature programs and a day-use area. Modern campground and lakeview cottages on the lake, coupled with a resort lodge on the pinnacle of Taylor Mountain, and chalets on the ridge-tops provide a selection of overnight accommodations beyond comparison.
Looking for a place to have a meeting? Lake Guntersville Resort State Park provides a massive resort inn, restaurant and convention complex (currently under renovation) perfect for your association's next state or regional meeting. It has meeting facilities large enough to accommodate a banquet or opening session, along with smaller breakout rooms. The magnificent view of Lake Guntersville from atop Taylor Mountain will provide an experience not soon to be forgotten. This park ranks as a total recreational resort. |

ONE OF THE BEST
We have spend three years in a row at Lake Guntersville State Park. Twice in a lake house, once in a chalet.
I should not praise it that much, so I get to keep it for myself.
The staff of this park is the BEST, true southern hospitality.
Cannot wait to return.
