Run Map
Description
The area of increased gradient appears to start about a half-mile above Joy Road (though we are uncertain regarding the possibility of convenient access or whether there is sufficient reason to attempt put-in above the Joy Road bridge). From the bridge, the creek drops 200' to the confluence with the Locust Fork of the Black Warrior River. It appears necessary/likely to paddle about 0.6 mile (of relative flatwater) downstream to the next bridge access point. Anyone having more details regarding this run is encouraged to either provide them (via the "Add a comment" button which should appear for registered, logged-in users of this site) or (AW members only) sign-up as a StreamTeam Volunteer to "adopt" this section of river.
