The Tashka Trail System totals almost 24 miles
of trails comprised of one main trail with five
loops off of the main trail. The system has two
trail heads (north and south) to access the trails
and can be used for hiking and biking. This trail
system is home to several annual events and is
a popular destination for the hiking and biking
community. Lake Lurleen State Park is also a part
of the Alabama Birding Trails. The Tashka Trail
System and the lake are both excellent places to
bird watch.

LAKE ACTIVITIES
The main attraction at the park is 250-acre Lake
Lurleen. The lake measures nearly 1 1/2 miles in
length, ½-half mile wide, and at its deepest is 48
feet. The lake is stocked with largemouth bass,
bream, catfish and crappie so anglers are sure to
reel in a nice-sized catch. Boat launch areas and
ample pier and bank fishing are available.
