About West Point Lake

Bordering Two States

West Point Lake is a large lake on the Alabama-Georgia border, around an hour from Columbus and just an hour and a half from Montgomery.

On and Around the Water

West Point Lake extends 35 miles along the Chattahoochee River and provides excellent fishing, camping, boating, and other outdoor activities. Abundant largemouth bass, managed under special regulation to maintain a high population, makes West Point Lake an excellent choice for anglers of almost any skill level. Beyond the plentiful largemouth, there is also plentiful spotted bass, striped bass, catfish, crappie, and bream. Along the upper end of the lake, a wildlife management area of nearly 10,000 acres is open to the public for both wildlife observation and hunting, which is allowed in a specific Corps-managed area. White-tailed deer, wild turkey, waterfowl, rabbit, and quail are commonly observed on the land. Nestled among the lake's outstanding features are 27 parks and recreation areas and seven campgrounds, set among a forest of mixed pine and hardwoods. Amenities at these facilities are tennis courts, baseball fields, basketball courts, fishing piers, picnic shelters, and swimming beaches.
