City Overview


  Wedowee

The ambiance in Wedowee is truly that of a small town. Wedowee is close enough to all modern conveniences, yet far enough away from the hustle and bustle of city life for the simpler lifestyle.
Wedowee is located in the center of a triangle with the corners being Atlanta, Birmingham, and Montgomery. Lake Wedowee, also known as R.L. Harris Reservoir was built by the Alabama Power Company approximately 24 years ago. Many beautiful homes have been built in newly constructed lakefront subdivisions in the Wedowee area.
Lake Wedowee is located between Anniston and Auburn on U.S. Hwy. 431. Both cities offer world class golf on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. Wedowee is less than 1.5 hours from Birmingham and Atlanta where you can enjoy theatres, shopping malls, fine dining, professional sporting events, or hop on a flight to anywhere your heart desires. For race fans, the Talladege Super Speedway is less than one hour away.
