Picnic Shelters

There are many group and picnic shelters across the Black Warrior & Tombigbee Lakes that are available for rent. Shelters can be reserved online at Recreation.gov. Most of the shelters are in our day use parks, however there are also some within the campground for campground use only.

There is a fee to reserve a shelter and the fee varies depending on how large the shelter is and its amenities. Below is a listing off all our shelters and what lake they are part of.
