The Town of Spectre is on a lake island just north of Montgomery. It features a beautiful island with moss-covered trees, boat ramps, fishing, a playground, goats, and the town of Spectre which is a movie set from the movie “Big Fish”.

Don’t sweat all night camping during summer. Find the essentials here.

The Town of Spectre is located a little over  3 hours south of Huntsville, almost to Mobile. We stopped here on the way to the beach. It is just a few minutes off of I-65 and makes for a great way to break up the trip.

Google Town of Spectre or click here for directions.

 

Town of Spectre

You can drive right up to the town. The town was built as a movie set for the movie “Big Fish”. The movie set over the years has been damaged due to storms and fires, but a few of the buildings remain intact and standing. The insides of the buildings are completely gutted and you cannot enter them due to the instability of the structures.

Goats

Yes. There are a TON of goats on this island. Some of them will come up to you, some of them will avoid you, but we had a ton of fun petting them. It was a very unexpected surprise, but made the stop a ton of fun.
