It’s fall, it’s football season, and it’s Alabama! September offers many things to do, but if you’re from this state, you know football plays a major role in life during this month. Why not enjoy the game from the comfort of a lake house or nearby sports bar? You can enjoy plenty of fishing in the morning and still have time to catch the game that afternoon.

Each lake along the Alabama Bass Trail is surrounded by towns and cities with sports bars, BBQ joints and more that will have the TVs tuned to football. Logan Martin Lake and Lay Lake are short drives from the bustling city of Birmingham.

Many of the local breweries in Alabama are located along the trail. Straight to Ale in Huntsville is just minutes from Lake Guntersville and is known for their year-round brews. Located inside Campus 805, this old high school made into a brewery is a popular destination for watching the big games. Pool tables, a pinball arcade and a café are just a few extras you will find there.

If staying in and cooking on the grill is more your style, grab a group of friends and plan a weekend at the lake. The campsites at Wind Creek State Park offer gorgeous views of Lake Martin and plenty of campgrounds for your RV – or instead, stay in an air-conditioned cabin. Rest assured there are plenty of TV-accessible options along the lakes to accommodate a crowd and make it easy to entertain.

Plan a trip to watch the game on the lake this football season. No matter who you are cheering for, you are guaranteed to have a wonderful time!
