R E 'Bob' Woodruff Reservoir, also known as Jones Bluff Reservoir or simply The Alabama River by locals, is a 12,500-acre impoundment located in central Alabama between Montgomery and Selma. Created by the Robert F. Henry Lock and Dam built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, this riverine reservoir primarily serves for navigation, hydroelectric power generation, and recreation. The reservoir stretches approximately 80 miles with about 370 miles of shoreline and features a maximum depth of 25 feet. Much of the reservoir remains confined to the historic river channel, though numerous creeks have been flooded, providing diverse fishing opportunities. The reservoir's water comes from the Walter F. Bouldin Dam on the Coosa River and the Tallapoosa River, maintaining a relatively constant flow that prevents summer stratification.
