I love spending time on Hoover. If the fishing isn't great the paddling always is. Highly recommended for anglers and paddlers. There are several manual ramps as well as full on ramps and marinas.

Always a beautiful time. The bluegill are feisty, the cats are deep, and the crappie are plentiful. If Wildlife is your thing you can regularly see bald eagles, red tail hawks, egrets, and blue herron.

Most parks and parking close at 11pm. I don't know of any swimming areas.
