Alabama Power has launched a new version
of its Shorelines app, which offers advanced
interactive features to enhance lakegoers'
experiences.
In addition to lake-specific information about
water levels and generation schedules, the new
Smart Lakes app is a one-stop source for all
relevant lake data. It features:
• An easier way to find the best fishing spots,
restaurants and marinas via an enhanced
map.
• Weather forecasts localized to each
lake, including the highs and lows of
the day.
• The ability to report the location of
invasive plants while on the water and
around lake homes.

smartphones.

Lakes app has evolved into something
