We are visiting family from Mobile, AL, and we live near Mobile Bay. The water here is stunning, and there are plenty of cool venues and nice restaurants nearby. It's definitely a beautiful spot. The water is incredibly clear, and I highly recommend it to anyone on vacation—make sure to stop and see this little piece of heaven!
The lake is usually very clear most of the time. Every July, we make it a tradition to come here and we really appreciate how shallow the water is, especially for the kids. If you continue walking further out, it gradually becomes deeper! They offer shower facilities and there's also a beach concession area, along with the camp store and changing rooms. Although the parking lot and beach can become quite crowded, it's still a great spot for families.
