Fall & Winter
Fall and winter bring a different kind of magic. With lower water levels, the setting feels more like a cozy woodland or mountain-style retreat—perfect for fire pit nights, outdoor movies wrapped in blankets, and peaceful time surrounded by nature.
Kids love exploring the exposed lakebed, often discovering shells, animal tracks, and flowing streams—rubber boots recommended! You’ll also love being just minutes from local Cullman events: Oktoberfest, Cullman County Fair, Christkindlmarkt and more
