The Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge is six miles east of the small town of West Brocton on County Road 24. Prepare yourself for a remote outpost, in contrast to most tourist sites. There is no visitors center, although guides are available at a kiosk along River Trace Road. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service website provides more information about the Refuge.
