Gulf State Park is a 6150-acre (2490 ha) state park in Gulf Shores Alabama in southern Baldwin County. The park property mostly covers the land behind the Gulf Shores beach community between Highway 59 and SH 161 but the west end extends further south to a wide beach area along the Gulf of Mexico (see photo right). There are three spring-fed fresh-water lakes within Gulf State Park: Lake Shelby (750 acres or 300 hectares) Middle Lake and Little Lake.
