Best boating lake in your state.

Glen Lake in Michigan has my vote. Looking forward to enjoying some time up there this summer.

Alabama has a bunch of great lakes. Pickwick, Wilson, Wheeler and Guntersville lakes on the Tennessee River are hard to beat.

The entire Tennessee River system runs 650 miles from Western KY to Knoxville, TN, and it is undoubtedly the premier inland cruising in the U.S. It gets more beautiful the farther east you go. Muscle Shoals, Decatur, Huntsville, Guntersville, Scottsboro are AL cities west of Chattanooga.

Other magnificent lakes are Martin Lake just north of Auburn-Opelika and Smith Lake NW of Birmingham.

Our lake house is at Muscle Shoals on Wilson Lake. It's only 16,000 acres, but the lake is deep and wide. It's the premier lake for large catfish and large smallmouth bass anywhere. This lake is very residential with seawalls and concrete fixed boathouses. The average home is 5000+ square feet, and there are hundreds and hundreds of them. We have a 7 mile sunset view and 55' water off our double boathouse. And two Robert Trent Jones championship golf courses are 1/4 mile down the street. It's one of those places golfers would call heaven. And two other 40,000 acre lakes are within 10 miles of us.

Will give the Tennessee River a 2nd. We spend most of our time on Wheeler Lake but occasionally go over to Guntersville or down to Smith Lake. My only complaint is lack of places to pull up and eat on Wheeler. There is one place in Decatur but that's it. Unfortunately, Decatur gave all of the riverfront to industries yeas ago. What land isn't occupied by industry is Wheeler National Wildlife refuge.
