I strongly recommend you heed Lifer's warnings above. Seeing the fireworks from the water is a unique experience, but living on the Dadeville side of the lake presents even more challenging navigational hazards than we face coming from Parker Creek. If you do decide some year to come, I would recommend you leave well before the light runs out,bring a GPS that has proven itself in daylight to be accurate enough to navigate the lake, a picnic lunch, lots of liquids (pilot can have none of the adult kind), and mosquito repellent. Find a place to anchor that is close to shore, and wait to leave after the show is over until the hurryupletsgethomers have vacated the area and the water calms down. Its amazing how many rogue waves you get when thosands of boats decide to leave a constrained area at the same time. We actually motored THROUGH a wave one night in our 19 ft open bow ruabout - the ones up front who were having a good time bouncing around suddenly decided the back seat was a much better option. You must know your boat and for sure not overload it.

Glad to have you on the forum and enjoy the prettiest place in Alabama the Beautiful!
