Answers
Alabama lakes pages: what readers ask
How many Alabama lakes have a page here?
90: 45 reservoirs, 16 State Public Fishing Lakes and the rest city, county and park lakes with ADCNR access.
Which Alabama lake is the biggest by ADCNR acreage?
Lake Martin, at 39,180 acres on its ADCNR page.
What feeds these Alabama lake pages?
ADCNR reservoir and state lake pages, the ADCNR WFF ramp list and bank-access map, the 2026-27 digest, ADCNR records and USGS outlines and gauges.
How many of these lakes list an ADCNR boat ramp?
22; another 81 have ADCNR bank-access or pier sites.
Which lakes carry their own size or creel limits?
18 lakes have a water exception in the 2026-27 digest, such as the 15-inch bass rule on Guntersville.
Do any of these lakes cross a state line?
9 do, shared with Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee or Florida; each page gives the Alabama share of the outline.
Why is a lake name printed without a link?
Pages go live a few at a time; the name becomes a link the day its page is released.
Are lake depths or live TVA and Alabama Power levels shown?
No. ADCNR prints no depths, and TVA and Alabama Power levels are not machine-readable here, so only USGS lake gauges appear.
