About Old Glade Swamp
Old Glade Swamp is a distinctive natural area in Shelby County, Alabama, offering a quiet retreat for those who appreciate shallow water environments. Covering just over 100 acres, this lake’s surface is notably flat with a maximum depth of zero feet, giving it a unique wetland character rather than a traditional deep lake feel. Its proximity to towns like Harpersville, Childersburg, and Wilsonville makes it accessible for local outdoor enthusiasts. The surrounding landscape is enriched by Oak Mountain State Park nearby, adding to the natural context of this area. The lake’s shallow expanse encourages a different kind of exploration and appreciation, especially for those interested in the diverse ecosystem and peaceful setting that such a swamp environment provides.
