The Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries (WFF) Division of the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) has reopened Riverview Public Boat Ramp on the Warrior River near Tuscaloosa after the completion of a major facility upgrade.
During the closure, the facility’s damaged launching slab was replaced. WFF and the City of Tuscaloosa have partnered to repave the existing parking lot and install a new access pier in the coming months. The additional improvements will be completed in phases. The facility will temporarily close when the repaving project is ready to begin.
Partial funding for this project was provided through the Sport Fish Restoration Program, which is supported through excise taxes on the sale of outboard motor fuel, fishing equipment and the sale of Alabama fishing licenses. Additional funding was provided by Innovate Alabama, a statewide public-private partnership focused on entrepreneurship, technology and innovation with a mission to help businesses grow roots in Alabama.

ADCNR promotes wise stewardship, management and enjoyment of Alabama’s natural resources through four divisions: Marine Resources, State Lands, State Parks, and Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries. Learn more at www.outdooralabama.com.
