Be sure to check out everything going on @mcdowellenvironmentalcenter located on the west end of Smith Lake. If you’ve never been, you need to make an appointment to your and just experience the beauty of this magical property and inquire about everything exciting they offer. Writer @ellenrobertz wrote a fantastic and still very relevant article in the Summer 2019 issue in digital on our website thelakesidelife.com or link in bio. 〰️〰️💦〰️〰️ “Had a great time out on Clear Creek canoeing with our staff recently. It was the last day of staff training before residential schools started for the fall! We can’t wait to take our students canoeing on beautiful Clear Creek soon!” - 📷 @mcdowellenvironmentalcenter 〰️〰️🌿〰️〰️ #smithlakearea #campmcdowell #mcdowellenvironmentalcenter #smithlakethingstodo #learn #explore #nature #bankheadnationalforest #canoeing #clearcreek #alabama #alabamalakes #alabamalife #smithlakecommunity #smithlakesocial #lakeliving #lakeside #lewissmithlake #lifeonthelake #lifeonsmithlake #livinglakelife #livelifelakeside #visitsmithlake #smithlake #smithlakeal #smithlakepix #smithlakelife #smithlakemagazine #thelakesidelifemagazine #thelakesidelife (at Smith Lake, Cullman al) https://www.instagram.com/p/CT0ewl0r-Vv/?utm_medium=tumblr

Be sure to follow local area groups that we have previously featured in the magazine (now in digital): @mcdowellenvironmentalcenter , @campmcdowell, @wild_alabama and @wildsouthorg to keep abreast of all the wonderful things they are doing right here in the Smith Lake area, in #bankheadnationalforest #sipseywilderness and beyond. They offer programs and opportunities where you can participate to learn, have fun, or volunteer. Follow them to learn more about their upcoming schedules, programs and events. 〰️〰️🌿〰️〰️ “Our Wilderness Stewardship Coordinator, Kim Waites, spent the morning at McDowell Environmental Center at Camp McDowell leading a hike for incoming MEC staff. Their fall programs begin soon which will bring in youth from across the state. Majority of their staff are from out of state. Kim imparted a wealth of knowledge on Alabama’s natural history, a great primer for the positions they will have this fall.” - 📷 @wild_alabama #enjoyvalueprotect #campmcdowell #mcdowellenvironmentalcenter #wildsouthorg 〰️〰️💦〰️〰️ #smithlakearea #explore #learn #alabama #alabamalakes #alabamalife #smithlakecommunity #smithlakesocial #lakeliving #lakeside #lewissmithlake #lifeonthelake #lifeonsmithlake #livinglakelife #livelifelakeside #visitsmithlake #smithlake #smithlakeal #smithlakealabama #smithlakepix #smithlakelife #smithlakemagazine #thelakesidelifemagazine #thelakesidelife (at Smith Lake, Cullman al) https://www.instagram.com/p/CS0Ja7lrRjf/?utm_medium=tumblr
