The Locust Fork in Alabama, USA, is one of three major tributaries of the Black Warrior River, stretching over Blount, Etowah, and Marshall counties. The 158-mile-long (254 km) river features several stretches of whitewater, and is popular with canoers and kayakers. In 1991, the Birmingham Water Works proposed damming the river as a source of drinking water. The plan was controversial, and has been suspended.
