Goat Rock Recreation Area

Goat Rock Recreation Area is located just below the Goat Rock dam on the west shoreline in Lee County, Alabama. The pristine scenery provided here is popular for bank fishing, sightseeing, and picnicking, as the northern portion of Lake Oliver is undeveloped. Facilities provided at this area include a primitive boat ramp, day use area, parking, bank fishing areas, and access to the Goat Rock tailrace.
