Morgan Lake is a fishing lake in Alabama's National Forests in Alabama, within the Shoal Creek Ranger District. The Forest Service manages the surrounding land. Fall is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show October highs around 76°F and lows near 52°F, with fewer wet days than in summer. Midsummer highs typically reach about 90°F. The lake is a fishing destination rather than a destination with a set route. It sits among several other outdoor spots within about seven miles, including the Bald Rock Hiking Trail and the Snake Creek canoeing route. Choccolocco Creek offers river fishing, and the Leave No Trace Challenge hike is a short drive away.
