Historic cottages downtown, ranches on the edges, and acreage toward the river.

I-65 Exit 284 and US-31; about 20 minutes to Gardendale.

Named for the Black Warrior River, the town grew on coal and rail and kept its original downtown intact.

Old-town character with river recreation out the back door.

Make a half-day of it: antiques downtown, catfish for lunch, and the river in the afternoon.

Warrior anchors the north end of the Gardendale corridor, with the Locust Fork providing the region's best paddling and river fishing.
