With the limited amount of commercial development in the area you will want to plan to get your groceries on the way to the house.  If you're already here you may be wondering what your options are.   

• Country Mall (10 Minute Drive): You likely passed this favorite of the locals, the Gas Station named the Country Mall. Think of it like a Mom & Pop Stop of years gone by because that's what it is.  The nice thing is they have a pretty decent selection of food, some fresh produce, a hardware and fishing tackle selection and even a Pizza Shop!  So if you're at the house and in need of some emergency supplies, this is your place!

• Cullman & Jasper  (30-45 Minute Drive):  If you're coming in from out of town you're going to want to buy your groceries ahead of time.  The good news is we have a huge refrigerator and freezer at the house so you can stock up without worrying about space.  Both Cullman and Jasper are good size towns with a Walmart and other stores you might need for your trip.   

• Kroger Delivery:  I haven't personally tried it yet, but I have heard that Kroger will deliver to our neighborhood through the Instacart App.  If you're hip to this service at home this might be the way to save yourself a bunch of wandering around the store!

With over 640 miles of shoreline there is a lot of lake to explore!! 

If you are here to enjoy the lake and let's be honest, that's why you are here there are lots of things to see and lots of ways to enjoy the lake.  

If you are looking for a place to rent a boat we recommend:

Duskin Point Marina 

• Phone: (205) 384-6942 | https://www.duskinpointmarina.com/ 

  • Please tell them I sent you. 

Squirrel's Boat Rental 

• Phone: (205) 387-8616 | https://squirrelsmarina.com/ 

  • Please tell them I sent you. 

If you are looking for Fuel on the lake:

Duskin Point Marina is also the best place close to our house to get it. Located about a 5-10 minute boat ride away with 24/7 on the water pumps, this is your best bet. I marked most of the other major marinas on the map, but just know that some like Triple Creek are not open all the time and you may have to call to get someone to come fuel your boat. 

There are few things people love more than taking their boat out for a nice cruise only to end the trip at a boat up restaurant for some tasty food and drink!  While the lake itself is Huge! Your options for boat up dining are fairly limited. 

1) Trident Grille - 

• Phone: (256) 841-4016 | Menu: tridentgrille.com

• Located at Trident Marina, about a 30 minute boat ride from our house you will find one of our favorites.  With great views and food to match we almost never come to the lake without at least 1 or 2 visits here.   The good news is even if you don't have a boat you can drive to Trident in about 10 minutes by car. 

2) Drifters Bar & Grill-

• Phone: (256) 841-1515 | Address: 173 Co Rd 312, Cullman, AL 35057

• While you can boat all the way here, you are looking at a much longer ride, likely 90 minutes or so depending on speed.  Drifters is located on the Cullman side of the lake which also has some great fishing!
