Located in west central Alabama, the Canebrake is an area with a well-defined sense of history.  Antebellum and Victorian homes, Civil War and Civil Rights sites, and ancient Indian mounds dot the region.  For outdoor enthusiasts, the Canebrake boasts access to not only the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway and Black Warrior River, but to many lakes and smaller tributaries as well.  These waterways form the foundation for the area's rich wildlife, paleontology and geology, and outdoor recreational experiences.
