No Business Creek: A Year-Round Recreation And Legacy Property

The No Business Creek tract in Walker County, Alabama is a true year-round recreational property for anyone who enjoys the outdoors. It offers a rare combination of size, river frontage, timber value, hunting, and fishing near the city of Birmingham. Located along the Mulberry Fork, the tract has approximately 2.6 miles of river frontage, perfect for fishing, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, or simply enjoying the scenery. The Mulberry is a tributary of the Black Warrior River, and it flows year-round with a mix of pools, runs, and shoals. The river supports a wide variety of fish, including largemouth and spotted bass, crappie, catfish, and panfish. The land is predominantly timbered, featuring 25+ year-old plantation loblolly pine, recent clearcuts, young planted pines, and hardwoods. These timber resources provide both short- and long-term monetary value, and a timber cruise is available upon request. The terrain ranges from rolling hills and steep ridges to river-bottom ground, offering countless recreational opportunities, particularly hunting. Deer, turkey, dove, and rabbit populations are strong, and wild quail are also present, which is rare for the Southeast. This part of Alabama is known for producing exceptional whitetails in both body and antler size. Numerous 130 deer have been killed here, with some reaching 150 and exceeding 200 pounds. Neighboring landowners also manage for quality deer, and 160 deer have been taken on adjoining tracts. Ample bedding cover keeps mature deer on the property year-round, while a well-developed road system allows hunters to play the wind in any weather. Turkey hunting is equally impressive, with toms gobbling in nearly every direction on spring mornings and birds often sporting multiple beards (as many as 5!) and long spurs. Nearly 500 acres of mature loblolly pine are ready for a second thinning. Opening the canopy, combined with prescribed fire, would promote a native understory of forbs, brambles, grasses, and shrubs, enhancing cover and food sources for game and non-game species alike. Several open areas, powerline corridors, and daylighted roads add to the diversity. Fifteen acres of food plots are already established, with ample room to expand and supplement the property's native browse. In addition to the river, the property features three main ponds stocked with largemouth bass and bluegill. A beaver dam has flooded a small section of No Business Creek, creating another excellent duck hole. Power is available on the property, and 4 entrances provide convenience for a hunting camp, cabin, or primary residence. The tract is just 45 minutes from Birmingham and 90 minutes from Huntsville and Tuscaloosa, offering seclusion without being remote. Nearby Dora and Jasper provide restaurants, healthcare, grocery stores, farm and feed stores, and hardware stores. The size, location, diversity, and hunting and fishing opportunities make this property a unique offering in the Southeast. No Business Creek offers the chance to own, improve, manage, and pass down a true legacy property. Showings are by appointment only.
