The main event! The Styx River is generally shallow and slow moving. It's perfect for tubing, kayaking, or just sitting in a bag chair with your toes in the water! We have 1,400' of river frontage so there is plenty of waterfront space for everyone to enjoy!
Take in the beauty of Alabama! With stunning cypress trees, cedars, pines, and sweetgum all around, this is certainly not concrete jungle! If you are a bird watcher, photographer, or just appreciator of nature, this is the place for you! The perfect place to relax and unwind.
With slides, rock walls, swings, sand, and two towers, The Fort is just waiting for imagination and play! Great for all ages, let the kiddos burn off some energy while you kick back and relax.
A version of dodge ball that's all the rage these days. If your children are not familiar with it, there is a large rule board next to the pit. Gather a group and have some fun!
