We were impressed with the beautiful lake and mountains.

We came to Cherokee County to be close to grandchildren in Birmingham. We moved from New England. We were impressed with the beautiful lake and mountains, moderate climate, and less expensive living. I liked the conservative atmosphere, the church influence, and the friendly and welcoming people.

Weiss Lake (pronounced “Wice”) is a 12-month fishery located in Northeast Alabama in Cherokee County. It should definitely be on your "Bucket List" of places to visit and fish. Rated as one of Alabama's Top Fisheries, Weiss is best known because of its excellent Crappie fishing. White and Black Crappie can be found in Weiss with the lake record weighing in over 5 pounds! Each year, many 2-3 pound fish are caught to make one beautiful stringer for either the wall or supper.
