About Lake Lurleen State Park

A 250-acre lake anchors this 1,625-acre recreation area, built up around a 23-mile trail system that winds through the surrounding land. The park is managed by the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, which oversees the lake and trails together as one property. Its size allows for a network of paths that stretches well beyond the shoreline itself, giving visitors both water and extended overland routes to cover.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
