Alabama is home to several beautiful rivers, including the Black Warrior River. Located in west-central Alabama, the Black Warrior River is one of the state’s most scenic rivers. One of the best ways to explore this scenic river is by taking a cruise aboard the Bama Belle.

Please note, the Bama Belle has permanently closed.

The Bama Belle, which is docked at Medeiros Point on the Black Warrior River in Tuscaloosa, is one of Alabama's most unique water attractions. It's also the city's only paddle wheel riverboat cruise.
