Smith Lake Live Cam

Lewis Smith Lake is a man-made reservoir located in north-central Alabama in the United States. It was created in 1961 by the construction of the Lewis Smith Dam on the Sipsey Fork of the Black Warrior River. The lake covers an area of over 21,000 acres and has over 500 miles of shoreline.

The lake was named after Lewis Martin Smith, an Alabama Power Company executive who was instrumental in the construction of the dam. The purpose of the dam was to generate hydroelectric power and to provide flood control for the region.
