Locust Fork

Once proposed as a Wild and Scenic river, Locust Fork met a very high criteria for beauty. This means nothing till you see it for yourself. The challenge is getting down this white water river. There is nothing like the steep cliffs, water falls and plants along in this place anywhere else in Alabama - and yet the Birmingham Water Works continues to buy land in order to dam the river for drinking water instead of purchasing land around the existing drinking water supply of the Cahaba River. The river drains approximately 1,209 square miles (6,020 acres). The geology of the watershed makes it distinctive. The river originates in Marshall, Etowah and Blount counties and flows along the lip of Sand Mountain. This mountain is actually a broad plateau roughly ten miles wide and 80 miles long formed by shifts during Paleozoic time. One of the Locust Fork's most significant subwatersheds is Turkey Creek in northwest Jefferson County. This small creek serves as the only habitat for the endangered Vermillion darter.
