This campsite is-in-the end of Forest Service Road 224 (really, it's the
end!). To get there, get on Alabama Highway 33 going south from Moulton, or
north from Double Springs. Between mileposts 12 and 13, Lawrence County Road
6 heads west toward the Sipsey Picnic Area. Get on CR 6 and about a mile
down this road, on your right, is FS 224, a dirt/gravel road. This runs for
three miles and deadends-in-a blocked off bridge over Borden Creek. This
area is a trailhead for several trails, and camping areas exist pretty much
right there. It's full primitive camping--no toilets, no running water, no
nothing. Bring in anything with you that you'd need, and be prepared to cart
it out.
If it rains heavily, Casper will show you how to sleep under the bridge.
And I already have the new Boschung/Mayden book, so I won't go in on any
pre-order... So I know that what has been considered the Warrior Darter in
Borden Creek is now called the Sipsey Darter, an undescribed species.
