| | The Bigbee Bottom trail is a 3.8 mile loop trail that takes you into a hardwood forest near the banks of the Black Warrior and Tombigbee Rivers. The trail ranges from easy to moderate and has 2 wildlife food plots for wildlife viewing. The Lower Pool Trail is a 1.6 mile loop trail that also runs through the hardwood forest and gives great views of the lower pool falls. The trail is easy and also has a wildlife food plot for wildlife viewing. Plans are in the works to create a bridge over the gorge to connect the Bigbee Bottom with the Lower Pool |
trail. Once this happens, the trail will be a combined length of 5.4 miles. Please see link below for more information including maps and photos.
