Inland Lake is a 1,557-acre crystal-clear reservoir located on the Blackburn Fork of the Little Warrior River in Blount County, Alabama. Completed in 1939 and operated by the Birmingham Water Works for water supply, this deep lake features a mean depth of 77 feet and offers 32.25 miles of shoreline. The reservoir's clear waters and rocky terrain create ideal habitat for spotted bass, while also supporting populations of largemouth bass, striped bass, and various panfish species. Inland Lake experiences significant seasonal water level fluctuations averaging 16.4 feet annually, with lowest levels typically reached in late fall before winter rains replenish the reservoir.
