Lock No. 2 Park

Lock No. 2 Park provides convenient boat access to the Black Warrior River, a large navigable waterway in western Alabama. The park features a double-lane boat ramp that makes launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats easy and efficient.

The Black Warrior River is a substantial river, stretching 168 miles and draining over 6,200 square miles. With an average flow rate of nearly 11,000 cubic feet per second, the river can present strong currents, especially during periods of high water. Paddlers should be prepared for potentially challenging conditions and plan their trips accordingly.

Despite the river's power, the boat ramp at Lock No. 2 Park offers a reliable and user-friendly access point. Visitors will find paved parking, restrooms, and other basic amenities to support their on-water activities, whether fishing, leisure boating, or longer paddling adventures. Those planning a visit should check park conditions prior to arrival, as operations and facilities may be subject to change.
