The Black
Warrior-Tombigbee Lake system is home to six beautiful lakes. They include Bankhead, Holt,
Oliver, Warrior, Demopolis, and Coffeeville. The lakes stretch from the
headwaters near Birmingham, AL, south through Tuscaloosa and Demopolis to the
southernmost Corps facility located below Coffeeville.
The lakes are part of the larger Black Warrior
& Tombigbee Waterway system which serves commercial navigation purposes, as well
as providing hydropower and recreational opportunities. The river system's
ultimate destination is a confluence with the Gulf of Mexico in Mobile.
Today, the beautiful waters of the lakes
provide many recreational opportunities including boating, fishing,
camping, hunting, hiking, and enjoying the many day use parks. For more information on
