Coffee County Lake

Managed by the Elba Parks and Recreation Department, the Coffee County Lake is an 80-acre lake located 8 miles northwest of Elba, Alabama. The facilities offer public restrooms, concessions, fishing tackle, bait, and other fishing supplies. Three fishing piers make deep water easy to access without using a boat. Fish attractors are along the lake and boats are also available to rent. Fishers may use their own boats and a launching ramp is available; however, only trolling motors may be used on boats with an outboard motor. For more information, please call the Elba Recreation Department at (334) 897-6833.
