Green fees are $32.00 per person which includes 18 greens and a cart. Additionally, with reserved tee times and booked as a group, a golf package can be created for your group to enjoy. We also have a zero-entry family pool that allows our lodge guests to skip the stairs and submerge slowly into the pool as they would the ocean. Dressing rooms and restroom facilities are also available and adjacent to our pool area. In addition, we have an indoor steam room and separate sauna in the lower area of the lodge. For those who would like to visit the downtown area of Guntersville the city of Guntersville can arrange a complimentary shuttle service with pickup and drop offs every half hour. Our downtown area features a number of charming shops and boutiques and our downtown merchants association often offers special discounts and incentives to our lodge guests. Another activity we can arrange at no charge is educational seminars led by Patti Donnellson our on-site Naturalist. Examples of programs we have done in the past are: Wetlands Walks, Nature Walks, Nature Crafts, Plant Identification, Tracks, Scat and Signs. Our Naturalist can tailor programs to fit your group’s interests. Lakeside, the Beach Pavilion offers a great place to play in the sand, enjoy a game of beach volleyball or take a dip in beautiful Lake Guntersville. The Beach Pavilion is located next to our beach area and offers showers, dressing rooms, a snack kitchen and shaded picnic tables. The State Park also has several piers available for fishing. Fishing license, worms and crickets can be purchased at our Campground Store. Just bring your pole! For your day trips we have several areas of interest in our area: · http://www.alapark.com/brochures/pdfs/Cathedral.pdf - 26 miles one way. · http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g30549-d264873-Reviews-Noccalula_Falls_Park_Campground-Gadsden_Alabama.html - 37 miles one way · http://www.outdooralabama.com/oaonline/cheahaoao.cfm - 97 miles one way · http://barbermuseum.org/ - 80 miles one way · http://rattlesnakesaloon.net/Saloon/Saloon_home.html - 121 miles one way I have met with our CVB Director and she will be happy to organize additional itineraries of interest for your group. In addition we have a grant program that your group may quality for…..it will provide funds up to $5,000.00 based on the room nights your group uses while in Marshall County. These funds can be used in a variety of ways to enhance your group’s stay while in our area. This should give you an idea of some of the accommodations and activities we can provide at the Lake Guntersville State Park Lodge. We certainly hope to have the opportunity to host the Venture Riders at our wonderful facility. I have also talked to a few Bikes shops, that would be interested in setting up shop. But I have to check with the state park, to see, if vendors need a permit (?) Most of the management, ride also. I gotta tell you, I was quite surprised by the beauty of this place. OH and the road into it "You like swistees" ? If most people want shirts, I will us one of there local printers, to do the work ( already have a shirt design rolling around in my head ) I have a few friends that love to camp. so I'm going to invite more friends to come

thank you, just add this to our todo list

I'm waiting for input from the Guntersville state park people. I also have two local people working on this with me now. i've been calling bike shops, and places of interest. for possible ride locations & one of the big stops is the Barber Motorcycle Museum

I'm almost finished stuccoing a house. start a repaint monday & just picked up a mold remediation for the following week:big-grin-emoticon:

I wave all the time, if they don't no big loss. now I'll stop an help out any rider. even of I'm in my trucks. it's about respect. "no one gets left behind"

round trip, with all the touring, 4788.7 miles:cool10::mo money::mo money::mo money::mo money::mo money::mo money::mo money::mo money:

my ride home was more eventful then the ride up. In Gunthersville, I blow my right shock big time. (Nice easy train tracks) with a Ginormous pot hole on the back side. oil all over the front brakes. front end was a little loose, the rest of the way home. stopped at every honda shop along my route ( 8 in all) no one had the seals for the 2012 Wing. I pulled into the driveway at 9:45 pm last night. A nice thing: I went to the Bike Shop in Rock Falls and had my oil changed. in and out in 1-1/2 hours. Nice Service, Nice People.

Talked to the management for Gunthersville state park Lodge. I have a full agenda for four days of places to go, things to do. Clubs rates . Full bancque rooms, two bars, it has camping on the lake, boat and jet ski rentals, fishing, cave tours, winery's . The management said they have a bikers package. The guy rides a bike as well

Just something to think about. I'm parked at the Gunthersville state park Lodge. I spoke to the management about having one here (South-West) of Huntsville in Clay County Alabama. I'm going to talk to the marketing director in the morning. This place is HUGE !!!!.185 rooms sits on top of the mountain. A lot to do here

Ask me in six days, I made it to champaign. Had to stop and have the oil changed, tomorrow maybe KY

get a paper road map and fold it over when you get to the folds. REALLY?

I guess, I'm going to be the first to leave. Trailer is packed, and I'm rolling out at 9am tomorrow morning.. for my first leg of this journey

I'm talking to the Lord right now for him.

Prayers being sent brother.
