    My favorite spot in Tuscaloosa! Besides bryant Denny stadium. I spend every single day almost in that lake and love to find all the creeks that flow into it.

    Lake Tuscaloosa is a gem in West Alabama. The water is clean and the surrounds are lovely anytime of the year. I live on the lake but we enjoy the Tuscaloosa Sailing Club throughout the year. TSC offers sailing, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, camping, ⛵ racing, and socials. The camaraderie of the membership is second only to the beauty of Lake Tuscaloosa.

    I've lived in Tuscaloosa most of my life and been on the lake quite a bit. We recently moved to a waterfront property and I have to say, I now absolutely love the lake. I go out on it almost daily. Lots to see and explore.

    Good lake if you're wanting to catch numbers of Alabama bass, decent crappie fishery as well. Bigger bass are fewer and further between. Find us on Youtube @ Bream Bass & Beyond for videos from Lake T as well as other area lakes!
