Water Valley Lodge is located in southwest Alabama. Rolling hills and timber have dominated the landscape since prehistoric times when this part of the world was a seabed. Always known for its timber, southwest Alabama has some of the best hunting in the deep south.

Deer Hunting: at Water Valley is some of the best in the South. With over 30,000 acres to hunt, the lodge can offer every type of terrain: clear cuts, winter food plots, hardwood stands, young pine plantation, thinned pine plantation, swamp bottoms, and hills with mixed timber.

Rifle Hunting: Water Valley uses almost all types of stands on the hunt; tripods, ladder stands, lock-ons, shooting houses in the air and on the ground. Some hunters will be on the ground in large clear-cuts. If hunters would like to bring their climber it is no problem.

Bow Hunting: you will use a Black Water Creek lock-on as well as your own personal climber if you choose to bring it. Guides will have a variety of stands already set up. At the lodge a display of stands will be set up along with targets for the bow hunters to practice with.


Turkey Hunting: you will hunt with a guide who will provide calling and locating of birds. If you want to do your own calling, it's not a problem. The guide will still be there to help transport the hunter, locate birds and help with the layout of the land.

Turkey Hunting Combo: During turkey season we offer a turkey/hog combo where we hunt turkeys in the morning and hogs in the afternoon. Quail hunting is also available with a turkey hunting package. Hunters hunt turkeys in the morning and then spend the afternoon hunting quail.

Morning Hunts, Half Day Hunts, Split Day Hunts, Afternoon Hunts
Overnight Stay includes dinner, Breakfast, Lunch, Refreshments, Guide, Dogs, On-site Transportation, Cleaning of Birds.

Hog hunting: is another great sport available at Water Valley. During deer season, hogs can be hunted for no additional charge. February and April are the best months for those who are interested in hog hunting only. Hunts with dogs are also available for an extra charge.


Hunting Lodge:
Water Valley has sleeping facilities available for up to 58 people. The lodge house sleeps up to 10 people. The bunkhouse will accommodate 28 people in bunk beds. We have recently added 8 additional rooms that will sleep another 20 people. Each room has a full bathroom, with some rooms having two. We feel that private baths are very important, as sharing one with strangers generally is not comfortable. Meals are in a large dining room with a fireplace & TV. Your guide meets you here the morning before each hunt.


Land Management: Farming is a very important aspect to the management program.
Each winter there are over 200 winter food plots planted for wildlife.
As important is the spring and summer planting, which helps wildlife ease through the dry months of summer.
