Some of my favorite places to go to are hidden gems.
Unfortunately, I do not find enough of these places. But when I do find them,
they bring me a lot of joy. This week I was about to find a gem a little
outside of Troy called Youngblood Dam.
The dam is located around 6.5 miles outside of Troy
closer to Youngblood, Alabama, on Youngblood Lake. It is a beautiful spot that
quite a few people enjoy to fish at. If you look closely in the picture above
you will see people doing just that.
The area itself does not have too much history I could
find unfortunately. In what I could find, there is not even a census to prove how
many people live in the area. So, the community of Youngblood is a bit of a
mystery. For me at least. The area is a gorgeous area though. With the dam, the
lake, an abandoned building on the shore, and a really lovely area that a
family could easily have a cook-out on. And is, once again, a nice place for
fishing. The woman in the picture actually caught one shortly after I took it.
There is a little trail that goes down to the water,
and it is very easy to climb down. The hill is not too steep to go down. Making
it easy for any age to get down to it.
The place is absolutely beautiful and I very much
recommend anyone to go to it! Next time I go, I am hoping that it will be warm
so I can actually get in the water!
