Things To Do
Coheelee Creek Covered Bridge
Located just across the river from Columbia! The 96-foot long Coheelee Creek Covered Bridge was built in 1891 at the old McDonald Ford on Coheelee Creek. Built by John William Baughman, the bridge cost only $490.41, but still stands today as one of the most beautiful and unique landmarks in the Deep South. Making the setting even more picturesque is the fact that swiftly flowing Coheelee Creek rushes over a small waterfall just after it passes beneath the covered bridge.
Old Columbia Jail
The little wooden jail was built during the early 1860s, likely when Columbia was a Confederate military post and commissary center. The town was then a thriving riverboat port that handled commerce for a large part of the Wiregrass area of Southeast Alabama. The Old Columbia Jail is located on North Street in downtown Columbia. To reach the landmark from Highway 52 (Church Street), just turn south on Main, travel one block to North and turn right. The jail will be on your left. Its exterior can be viewed anytime.
Omussee Creek Park
Omussee Creek Park includes nature trails, a volleyball court, two boat ramps, two softball fields, picnic areas and comfort station.
Log Cabin Restaurant
Hands down one of the best restaurants I’ve ever eaten at. So good and so worth the little drive!!
