River 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.
