Old Lock #1

The Old Lock #1 boat ramp provides access to the Tombigbee River, a major waterway in southwest Alabama. This site is situated at the remnants of the historic Lock #1, completed around 1897. The river here is classified as a large, 8th order stream, with a total length of over 400 miles, an average flow of 33,850 cubic feet per second, and a relatively mild gradient of 0.7 feet per mile.

The access area features a renovated boat ramp, picnic shelter, flush toilets, primitive campsites, and a parking lot. It's an ideal launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters to explore the Tombigbee River. Anglers will also find good fishing opportunities in this section of the river. Visitors should be aware of any fish consumption advisories in effect. While the park is reservable, specific details on hours, fees, or other restrictions are not known. Those planning to visit should contact the park's phone number at 334-289-3540 for the latest information.
