Lewis Smith Lake was created in 1961 by the Alabama Power Company as a result of the company's construction of Lewis Smith Dam to produce hydroelectric power and improve river traffic conditions on the Sipsey fork of the Black Warrior River and provide recreational opportunities. The 21,200-acre lake straddles portions of Cullman, Walker, and Winston counties in north-central Alabama.
