The rural beauty of Coxey-Lawngate
In the rolling foothills of the southern Appalachian Mountains, Coxey-Lawngate in Limestone County offers rural living surrounded by some of the best preserved natural habitats in Alabama. Wildlife reserves, the beautiful Tennessee River, campgrounds and a marina set the scene for this sprawling, pastoral area west of the city of Athens. From the stretch of Wheeler Lake to the expansive Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge, residents have a massive option for outdoor recreation. Small local businesses pepper along the winding roads, situated near huge campsites and RV parks. For those who have been residents for years or are just now looking for a home, residential privacy is a huge draw, and new construction has been introduced all throughout Coxey-Lawngate.

Glittering Wheeler Lake and an abundance of wildlife at Wheeler Refuge
The Tennessee River borders much of this area, and residents take full advantage. Fishing, kayaking, paddling and other aquatic hobbies are prevalent. Lucy’s Branch Marina sits at Wheeler Lake, providing boat sales and rentals. Stretching nearly 70 miles, Wheeler Lake is the second-largest lake in Alabama. Camping is also a big deal around Coxey-Lawngate, with places like Cowford Campground and Elk River Lodge making for great weekend getaways. “We offer a quiet, peaceful little campground and we’re busy almost year-round,” says Janie Vineyard, the groundskeeper of Cowford Campground. “You’ll see all sorts of wildlife here. We see eagles, osprey and cranes. When the pelicans come and you see the sun hit them, it’s just surreal – it’s so gorgeous.” Then there’s the Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge, which protects the habitat for 12 endangered or threatened species. A rich quilt of forests, rivers, fields and wetlands, this beautiful area is home to an incredible variety of wildlife. Alligators peacefully move beneath the Alabama sun; whitetail deer gallop amid the refuge’s open fields, and flowering trees decorate the area. Visitors can enjoy a plethora of outdoor activities like fishing, birding, nature photography, hiking, horseback riding and boating.
Wheeler lake is popular among boaters, kayakers, and all those that enjoy the great outdoors.

Along the stretching roadsides are several churches of differing denominations, the rural makeup of the area lending itself to small community gatherings.
