Overview

Foscue Creek Campground is nestled on the forested lake shore of Demopolis Lake, the largest lake on the Black Warrior-Tombigbee Waterway.

Demopolis Lake offers 10,000 acres of water to explore. The region is excellent for hunting, and game is plentiful.

Foscue Creek Campground offers a peaceful retreat for families, anglers, boaters and those who want to get away any time of year.

Recreation

Fishing and hunting are the most popular activities in the area. Whether fishing by boat or along the bank of the park, anglers can fish for bass, crappie, bream, catfish and other species.

Day-use visitors and campers alike can enjoy a boat ramp and hiking trail at the campground. Foscue Creek Nature Trail takes walkers and joggers along the shoreline and provides benches for wildlife viewing and trail markers for tree identification.

Facilities

This facility has both a day-use area and a campground. There are four shelters for group picnics of between 25 to 80 people.

The 54 campsites feature picnic tables, lantern holders and campfire rings with grill. Campsites are spacious, private and located near or close to the water.

Natural Features

The campground lies south of the confluence of the Black Warrior and Tombigbee Rivers. The Black Belt region of Alabama is a diverse area of dense conifer stands and rolling meadows that feature colorful wildflower displays. Wood ducks, bald eagles, blue birds and many other species of wildlife inhabit the lake area.

Black Warrior-Tombigbee Waterway consists of six lakes with a total length of 457 miles and 39,800 surface acres of water.

The description, directions and fees are the Army Corps of Engineers’s own words, from its record on Recreation.gov.
