If you are looking for that perfect place – a small,
Southern town atmosphere with all of the advantages of a
larger city Gunter’s Landing and the surrounding area has
the best of all possible worlds. Gunter’s Landing offers beautiful,
natural settings, excellent schools, over twenty churches, many cultural
and civic organizations, and excellent medical complexes. This area also
offers excellent fishing, swimming, boating, skiing and over four miles of
lighted walking trails along the lake shore.
The above aerial photo says it all. Gunter's Landing and Buck
Island are located on the Southern most point of the Tennessee
River near the City of Guntersville. Located in Northeast Alabama
approximately 90 minutes Northeast of Birmingham and 30 minutes
South of Huntsville. The city of Guntersville is located on a
peninsula in a valley at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains
at an elevation approximately 600 feet above sea level. Lake Guntersville
is Alabama's largest lake with 69,000 acres of sparkling clean
water. The shore line of Lake Guntersville encompasses over 900
miles.
Directly across the Lake from Gunter's Landing is one of the largest
American Bald Eagle nesting sites in the Southern United States.
Bald eagles begin to arrive in the area during the month of November
and spend the winter months in and around Gunter's Landing soaring
the skies, fishing the reservoir and roosting in the tall pines
along the mountain tops.
