Tuscaloosa may be only the fifth biggest city in Alabama, but don't let it's size fool you. As the home of the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa serves as the center of activity for the industry, healthcare, commerce, and education in the western section 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.
Prior to'70, Lake Nicol and Harris Lake were used to provide water the Tuscaloosa residents. When Lake Tuscaloosa was formed it was larger than the other two lakes and treated to make it safe for drinking. Harris Lake became a primary source for industrial operations and Lake Nicol a backup water supply.
While serving the water needs of the Tuscaloosa residents, the lake also provides many fun things to do like boat riding, fishing, and engaging in water sports. This has fueled the demand for lake front and lake view land for building homes.
Lake Tuscaloosa has 177 miles of beautiful shoreline. The lake drains into the Black Warrior River basin. This spot is famous for fishing the abundant population of Alabama spotted bass, largemouth bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, and white crappie.
