2020 Jan 28, Day Trip to Guntersville, Alabama Parks, & Harbors

Hubby and I rode to Guntersville, stopping at the Guntersville Dam and looking for waterfowl, but we did not see any.


We stopped at Guntersville Harbor & Guntersville Municipal Park, where we saw hundreds of seagulls & double-crested Cormorants.


We stopped at Dollar General for sweets.


It was getting near lunchtime, so we rode to Winzell's Oyster House, where Hubby and I  split a Seafood Broil. $26.69 meal, which consisted of premium white fish, oysters, shrimp, stuffed crab, and scallops.

After a delicious meal, we rode to Guntersville State Park.

We rode to Lake Guntersville, which is located on the banks of the Tennessee River, where we saw hundreds of American Coots.

We saw a herd of deer grazing on both sides of the road near the campground area. 


We also saw an area with a small enclosed pond, along with friendly petting animals such as donkeys, emus, and goats. 

We had hoped to see an eagle or two, but unfortunately, we saw none. 


The park at Guntersville was desolate, too cold for swimming, but a few were camping.


My sister-in-law had a transmission put in her car, so Hubby and I rode to Decatur, and Hubby drove the car home. 


I stopped at Jack's on my way home in Decatur for a couple of strawberry cheesecake pies. 

Had a pleasant day in Guntersville.
