We have been meaning to go to Jackson Lake Island for several months. It's only a half-hour north of us in Millbrook, AL. We finally made it. We had perfect spring weather and lots of goats. Goats, especially kid goats was the attraction for us.
They have some unappealing hookup sites that are occupied by long-termers. We found a place on a bluff with no one around, but goats. There are quite a few baby goats and one was born the day before.
The island is privately owned and has the set from the 2003 “Big Fish” movie in fairly good dilapidated shape. The movie gets an 8 from imdb, we will have to watch it.
We had a wonderful Happy Hour sitting in a beautiful setting of trees with Spanish moss hanging down overlooking the water. It was so nice that a whole bottle of wine got consumed :)
In the morning we saw the goats walking to our site. There is a gully by us that goes down to the lake where the goats like to play. I decided that maybe I could get one to come to me if I fed it, so took out some bread. At first, they were skittish but when they realized there was food, I was surrounded. Two even put their front paws on me. You can tell they are tame because they very gently took the bread from my hand. One did lightly nip me when she decided she needed to be fed more. The $20 was the best entertainment money around and a fantastic place to camp in the Spring or Fall.
