Boating

The Army Corps of Engineers maintains a service campground that offers a boat ramp just upstream from the dam. Many anglers launch at this ramp and pass through the lock to gain access to the tailwaters below the dam.

       
Lodging

The 4,000-acre Choctaw National Wildlife Refuge is situated along the lower portion of Coffeeville Lake, offering campsites, a laundromat, and a boat ramp. Bladon Springs State Park also is located south of the lake and a little further south and west from the Choctaw National Wildlife Refuge. This 357-acre park also contains campsites.

Grove Hill and Jackson are located about 30 minutes from Coffeeville Reservoir, providing hotels for visitors.

Communities

The Demopolis Lock and Dam is situated on the Tombigbee River in Marengo County, below the southern edge of the Wildlife Management Area. The lake itself is located in Marengo County near Demopolis. Demopolis lies within Webb's Bend at the confluence of the Black Warrior and Tombigbee rivers, and the city features white bluffs, theater, and a "Christmas on the River Festival." Pontoon and ski boats are often seen around the city landing, and pleasure boats fill slips at the local marina. Visitors also have access to two major cities -- Birmingham and Montgomery. Those cities have airports, and they both are located about two hours from the lake.
