Tuscaloosa is the central location in the western part of Alabama when it comes to industry, commerce, healthcare, and education. While Tuscaloosa is only to fifth largest city in Alabama, most of the growth results from being the home of the University of Alabama.
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.
Since the completion of the reservoir, Lake Tuscaloosa has become a recreational haven for activities such as boating, fishing, water skiing, jet skiing and swimming. With all this booming recreational activity came the desire for residents to build lakefront homes.
Anglers enjoy fishing for Alabama spotted bass, largemouth bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, and white crappie in the Black Warrior River basin. The lake has 177 miles of shoreline that meanders through the natural terrain.
