You’ll find gorgeous homes dotting the shore line all across the county and lots of residents and visitors alike enjoying the lake. Marshall County is also the only county in the state that is home to three Alabama state parks, making it the perfect place to retire if you love the outdoors.

Guntersville Walking Trails
It wasn’t until moving to Alabama that I felt a sense of home.
"When I first moved to Marshall, the community was welcoming, my husband and I were never left with a weekend without plans. It wasn’t until moving to Alabama that I felt a sense of home. The natural beauty of Alabama gave us peace that we could not have where we were living."
