Weiss Lake
 |
The
brilliant sunset colors dance above the calm waters of Weiss Lake,
upon the banks of which rests the town of Cedar Bluff. Constructed
in the early 1960's to serve as a reservoir for hydro-electric
power generation, the lake occupies over 30,200 acres and has
nearly 450 miles of shoreline. It is surrounded by forest-covered
mountains, an array of beaches, and natural scenic views. Many
enjoy touring the area by boat, while others appreciate the ideal
sporting and fishing conditions. |
| Known
as The Crappie Capital of the World, Weiss Lake hosts many
local, state, and national fishing tournaments. Waters flowing
from the Coosa, Little and Chattooga Rivers converge to form one
of the largest freshwater lakes east of the Mississippi River
and, consequently, is the central attraction for Cedar Bluff tourists,
vacationers, and retirees alike.
The
lake level is controlled by Alabama Power according to planned
seasonal levels with full pool established at 564 ft. above
sea level. Near real time lake levels can be obtained by calling
1-800-525-3711.
