Great lodge to take the family for a week or a weekend. Plenty of outdoors activities including golf and boating.

The part of the park that has been rebuilt since the tornado hit is really nice. All new roads and bath houses. The sites are gravel and large and relatively level.

This is the second year we've taken our family to Joe Wheeler for the weekend. Last year we stayed at the lodge, but this year the kids (adults) stayed in the lodge and we rented a cottage so that we could have a gathering place. The cottage and location is beautiful. The only problem is that the beds are not comfortable at all. Check in was easy, all of the staff was very friendly and accommodating. We had a great weekend!

It's beautiful. Our first ten minutes here we saw the fish jumping on the lake. A quail stopped by the balcony, & there was a turtle & a snake in the lake. It's the day after Labor Day. It's so peaceful and there are deer everywhere.

Wheeler, famous for his service as a Confederate General, a U.S. Congressman, and a General in the Spanish-American War, came through Alabama during the Civil War in 1863 after the battle of Chattanooga, Tennessee. He and his cavalry troops rested at the Jones' plantation near Pond Spring after crossing the Tennessee River into Lawrence County. After the Civil War, Wheeler entered into a three-year courtship with Daniella Sherrod, and they married in 1866 and built a home at Pond Spring. The house, built during the 1870s, is connected to the original Sherrod house by a covered walkway. The 1870s home is the focal point of the 50-acre site which includes 12 buildings, gardens, and archaeolog   View all Joseph Wheeler, (born September 10, 1836, near Augusta, Georgia, U.S.—died January 25, 1906, Brooklyn, New York), Confederate cavalry general during the American Civil War. Wheeler entered the U.S. cavalry from West Point in 1859 but soon resigned to enter the Confederate service.
