One of Alabama Power’s newest day-use parks, Barrett’s Park on Lake Mitchell continues to grow each lake season. It’s an ideal place for families to come and enjoy the lake. People can be seen grilling, fishing and swimming at the park. While Barrett’s Park is nestled in Lake Mitchell’s remote Hatchet Creek area, the park already provides boater access and parking, a pier and boardwalk along the water, public restrooms, grills and picnic tables. Fishermen especially like to use the park to launch their boats due to its convenience, so much so that the park has even seen bass tournaments launch from its shores.
