Directions to Taylor's Ferry via I-22
Feel free to visit Taylor's Ferry anytime!
- From Downtown Birmingham, go West on I-59 for 2 miles. Take Exit 123, the Highway 78/Jasper Exit.
- Exit Right and go North 11.5 miles to the intersection of the new I-22/ Corridor X. You will cross over the bridge and go take the Right loop, going West towards Jasper.
- Take I-22 West 12.6 miles, to Exit 72, the "Cordova" Exit.
- At the bottom of the ramp, take a left and go approximately 4.5 miles to where the highway dead-ends at Highway 269.
- Turn Right on Highway 269 and go 3.5 miles to a crossroads called "Goodsprings" and you will see a Chevron on the Left.
- Turn Left at the Chevron, onto Goodsprings Rd., then go 0.1 mile (roughly one block) and turn Right onto Tutwiler Rd.
- Go 3.6 miles on Tutwiler Rd. Along the way you will cross a steel bridge.
- Turn Left onto High Hill Rd., approximately 1 mile after the steel bridge. Start your odometer.
- At 0.6 mile, you will come to a four-way stop. Go straight. This is a Walker county-maintained gravel road. You are headed out into a 35,000 acre wildlife management area wilderness and will not pass but a few houses at the start.
- At 6.3 miles the road will fork. Take the Right fork.
- At 6.9 miles the road will "T" and you will go straight. (The road will take a hard right - do not go that way. If you get to 3 houses a mile later, you have gone too far.)
- At 7.3 miles, you have arrived at Taylors Ferry! Take a left and go all the way to the water and lots 1-24. There will be sales literature in a box at our stone entrance monument and the lots are clearly marked.
NOTE: If you are there after hours, or if you find our gate locked, the code for the lock tumbler is 1999.
