Lake Tuscaloosa Provides Year Round Recreational Options For Alabama Homeowners
Located in the west central part of the state, Tuscaloosa is the fifth largest city in Alabama. Tuscaloosa, Alabama is famous for being the home of the University of Alabama. It is a hub for industry, commerce, healthcare, and education for the western half of the state.
In’70, Tuscaloosa formed Lake Tuscaloosa by damming up part of the North River. This created a new 5,855 acre reservoir that replaced the existing two reservoirs as the primary source to meet the water demands of the region.
Before the creation of the new reservoir, the region used Lake Nicol and Harris Lake as the regions water source for both residential and industrial purposes. Presently, Harris Lake only serves industrial needs and Lake Nicol is used primarily as a backup water supply.
Lake Tuscaloosa serves as a source for recreation to locals and visitors. The lake is used for boating, fishing, and water sports. These activities have led to the construction of lake homes and communities to provide seasonal and primary homes.
