Winston County, Alabama
Winston County tucks into north-central Alabama, with Double Springs as its seat. There are roughly 24,000 people in this county.
The county earned the nickname “Free State of Winston” for its resistance to secession during the Civil War. Lewis Smith Lake forms part of the county’s eastern border, drawing anglers and boaters.
The Bankhead National Forest covers much of the area. To say the least, it rewards exploration. Also, Lewis Smith Lake, with its deep, clear waters, is a major attraction for boating and fishing.
