Welcome to Alabama's official travel guide, packed with detailed information and local tips for your next Alabama vacation.

North Alabama, also known as the Alabama Mountain Lakes Tourist Association, formed in 1964 with the express purpose of developing North Alabama's travel industry and marketing the region to the traveling public. We now serve sixteen counties with an ever-expanding membership base representing progressive travel-regulated businesses and associations as well as various levels of government. 

Our hope is to expand on, and not duplicate, the objectives or efforts of local associations and organizations that represent specific industry components. 

We all prosper by working together in a unified effort to promote the sixteen-county region's natural, historic and man-made attractions.

Putter around a bit on one of our championship golf courses. Cast your line for deep-sea adventure on one of the Gulf Shores and Orange Beach fishing charters. Travel back in history with a visit to Fort Morgan, the site of the Civil War Battle of Mobile Bay. Commune with Mother Nature as you hike wildlife trails gazing at shorebirds.
