Centre is a friendly, small county seat built around Weiss Lake — a 30,000+‑acre, year‑round fishing and boating destination with hundreds of miles of shoreline — so multi‑week stays feel like a lakeside retreat with easy access to boating, swimming, trails and a relaxed downtown vibe.
If you want more variety, Gadsden is about 24 miles away with Noccalula Falls plus more restaurants and evening options, and Rome, GA is roughly 34 miles away with riverside trails and a lively downtown — both are convenient for day trips or weekend breaks so you won’t feel stuck.
