Dont forget river systems the hooch , etowah etc . Carters lake is nice , westpoint & weiss can be fun . Check out a lake in dallas of hwy 61 called the lilly pad . Over grown with lilly pads weeds and TONS of sunken wood . I strongly suggest a boat or kayak but you can drive around a big percentage of it for non boaters .I have caught some nice bass and only $ 5 a day 2 lakes conjoined by over flow dam and huge pond litterally 3ft to the right in one section.
