Smith Lake is about 21,200 acres with about 660 miles of shoreline. It is the second cleanest lake in the United States next to Lake Tahoe. You can see to the bottom in a lot of places...but, it is also deep and very swimmable. It is one the best fishing lakes in the Southeast with Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Stripers, Hybrids and more. Smith Lake is home to numerous fishing tournaments held throughout the year. There is parking for trucks and trailers for our professional and amateur fisher people.
Clearwater Shores is truly special. If you havent read about it yet...these are some of the best views on the lake. Also, it feels very private! Clearwater Shores is close to Trident Marina by boat (12 minutes) or car (9 minutes) which has a great restaurant called The Grille at Trident Marina...and boat rentals. It is also close to Smith Lake Park and Smith Lake Marina...home to the Sugar Shack for goodies and lake toys plus the all new Drifters Restaurant. There is a boat or PWC slip for our guests right in front of Clearwater Shores on our dock. It is also an easy drive to Smith Lake State Park which has a public ramp. By the way, the fishing is excellent! Largemouth and Spotted Bass, Striped Bass, Crappie and Catfish! There is even fly fishing for Rainbow Trout below the dam on the Black Warrior River. Guides available at Riverside Fly Shop in Bug Tussle, AL.
Clearwater Shores is equal distance (about an hour) from both Birmingham, AL and Huntsville, AL and just 15 minutes off Highway I-65 at Exit 299 (Dodge City, AL). This unique lake home is less than 2 1/2 Hours from Nashville, TN, 90 minutes from Chattanooga, TN, a little over 3 Hours from Memphis, TN and Atlanta, GA and about 4 Hours from Jackson, MS. Best place to fly into is probably Birmingham or even Nashville.
