     Boating:

    The Black Warrior & Tombigbee Lakes (BW&T) consists of six lakes (Demopolis, Coffeeville, Warrior, Oliver, Holt and Bankhead) with a combined total length of 457 miles and 39,800 surface acres of water. There are boat launching ramps at nearly all the Corps public recreation areas. Click on the "Day Use Parks" link to the right to find out which parks have boat ramps. 

    There are three privately owned marinas that provide fuel, boat repair, supplies, rentals and other boater's needs. Boaters from across the state and the country come here for their boating pleasures.

    Whether, water skiing, sightseeing, sailing, power boating or jet skiing, these waters are for everyone!

      For more boating resources, check out the individual lake site below:

    For more information on fishing or boat launch locations, see the "Day Use Parks" section of our website or call (334) 289-3540.

      Each land or water-related activity provides not only enjoyment and challenges to boaters   and other lake users but possible dangers as well. To prevent accidents, we suggest that   you look over the following list of safety precautions and follow them. If you do, you'll have a   safer and more enjoyable visit to the Black Warrior & Tombigbee Lakes.

    1. Be Alert to underwater hazards such as submerged stumps, logs and rocks that are present in the lake.
       

    2. Be especially careful when approaching the shoreline because depth of water will vary from time to time and place to place. Never dive into water of unknown depth.
       

    3. Be alert to hazards such as poisonous plants, insects and snakes that exist in the woodlands.
       

    4. Keep children under close supervision at all times.
       

    5. Wear life vests at all times.
       

    6. Do not use alcohol while in, on or around the water.
       

    7. File a float plan with someone to let them know where you will be and when you plan to return.
       

    8. Swim in designated swimming areas. (In all other areas except those designated "no swimming," individuals may swim at their own risk.)
       

    9. When recreating downstream of a dam, be prepared to leave the area immediately when the warning horn sounds and water is released.
