MORE INFO Navigate to the Gulf: Bankhead Lake is locally referred to as the Warrior River. This is a misnomer, as all large lakes in Alabama are dammed up rivers, as is Bankhead Lake. The only difference is that Bankhead Lake is navigable on the Tenn--Tom Waterway. The water level does not fluctuate, nor is there any noticeable flow in the river. The open water is a wide view, at least 3000 wide outside the property. Bankhead Lake has Birmingham Port on the Mulberry Fork Branch and is the port for steel and other industry transport. However, we are on the Black Warrior Branch, and are unaffected by Birmingham Port. Easy Interstate Access: I-22 is now open and the 12 miles to the property off I- 22 is through a pretty rural scene. Close to Town: Birmingham or Jasper are both only 30 minutes away!
