Scenic North Alabama: Guntersville Dam near Guntersville, Alabama





Guntersville Dam, North; spillways, locks, and fishing area (before the recent heavy rains)



















The same view after the rains; more than half the upper walkway is under water (photo on left) and all of the lower walkway(photo on right) where we often fish is submerged





Spillways open; south side of dam after recent flooding
























Submerged guard rail on south side of dam with herons












Guntersville Reservoir above the dam





Part of Lake Guntersville with waterfowl; recreation area near Guntersville city limits


Sun on the lake below the dam
