The resolution emphasizes the importance of Smith Lake to the tourism economy of Walker County and North Alabama, proposing that the Department of Transportation designate a route as Smith Lake Parkway. This route would extend from Exit 65 on Interstate 22, through various intersections, and end at the county line between Walker and Winston Counties. The resolution highlights the need for prominent signage along the parkway to guide visitors, thereby enhancing the visibility of Smith Lake as a recreational destination known for activities such as boating and fishing.

Furthermore, the resolution acknowledges the significant role that tourism plays in bolstering the local economy, with Smith Lake attracting visitors and supporting related businesses and services. It calls for the Department of Transportation to collaborate with local officials to implement this designation while ensuring fiscal responsibility and compliance with relevant laws. The overall goal is to promote Smith Lake as a key attraction, benefiting both tourists and the local community.
