If you enjoy a tailor-made pairing of state parks and Alabama Bass Trail lakes, you must check out Joe Wheeler State Park.  

Varied accommodation levels support those who want to rough it as well as those who want all the comforts of home after a day on the lake. But Joe Wheeler State Park also has a two-bedroom fisherman’s cabin located right next to the First Creek boat launch. If you fish, you know the early bird gets the worm, so this cozy cabin offers the advantage you need to catch your limit.  

On Wheeler Lake boasts large– and smallmouth bass, bluegill, spotted bass, crappie and catfish to give you an exciting challenge. When you’re ready for a break from fishing, hike a trail at Joe Wheeler State Park or go birding at Wheeler Wildlife Refuge.   

The lake and state park are located in north central Alabama near the Tennessee border, easily accessible to most of the state from I–65. Surrounding attractions include the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Frank Lloyd Wright’s The Rosenbaum House in Florence, and the Alabama Music Hall of Fame in Tuscumbia. 

Joe Wheeler State Parkwill provide a lifetime of fishing and outdoor fun. All you have to do is get started!
