About This Access Site
Finches Ferry Boat Ramp provides access to the Black Warrior River, a large navigable waterway in western Alabama. The single-lane boat ramp and accompanying day-use facilities offer paddlers, anglers, and recreational boaters a convenient entry point to this scenic river system.

The Black Warrior River is a substantial, slow-moving waterway over 170 miles long, with an average flow of nearly 11,000 cubic feet per second. Its gentle gradient of about 1 foot per mile makes it well-suited for leisurely floats and motor boating. Kayakers, canoeists, and small powerboaters will find the river's size and flow manageable, though caution is advised during periods of high water.

The Finches Ferry access site includes a sheltered picnic area and restrooms, making it an ideal spot for day trips or short overnight excursions. Visitors should note that the boat ramp requires a day-use pass, available through Recreation.gov or on-site. With its scenic setting and easy river access, Finches Ferry is a popular destination for enjoying the Black Warrior's recreational opportunities.
