The Great Escape: River Run from Crockett
This river race on the Mulberry Fork of the Black Warrior River traces the route the residents of the Creek village of Black Warrior Town took to escape Davy Crockett and the Tennesee Militia. It begins at The Forks, 5840 Sipsey Road, Empire, Alabama and ends at Disney Lake/Landing in the town of Cordova where the Indian Head Mill Festival will be in full swing. Our river is beautiful in October, and a good time is had by all!
