Lewis Smith Lake is a reservoir in north Alabama. Located on
the Sipsey Fork of the Black Warrior River, the lake covers
over 21,000 acres in Cullman, Walker, and Winston counties.
The three-fingered lake has over 500 miles of shoreline, and
at full pool has a level of 510 feet.
The lake was
created by Alabama Power by use of the Smith Lake Dam. The
largest earthen dam in the eastern United States, it stretches
2,200 feet in length and reaches a maximum height of 300 feet.
Construction
began on November 25, 1957, and the dam entered service on
September 5, 1961. Nearby towns include Bremen, Crane Hill and
Dodge City in Cullman County; Curry and Jasper in Walker
County; and Addison, Arley, and Double Springs in Winston
County.
It is the second-cleanest lake in America, behind Lake Tahoe.
