Smith Lake Winston County, AL - Real Estate, Homes For Sale & Area Information

Winston County 8 is a dead end. As you drive past Forsythe Estates and The Stoney Point Development and unceremoniously come to a "dead end", you find yourself at what used to be the Falls City Community. From here, across Smith Lake you can see the Clear Creek Recreation Area. What you do not see is Clear Creek Falls, which was lost beneath the surface of Smith Lake as the lake filled in 1961. Once a popular place to enjoy nature, gather for family reunions and just while away a day, this spot is now frequently forgotten for the beauty it once had. Most that will find themselves there today never know what they were born too late to see and is now submerged beneath the waters of Smith Lake.
