Water Valley Lodge is located in Choctaw County, southwest Alabama. Rolling hills and timber have dominated the landscape since prehistoric times when this part of the world was a seabed. Always known for its timber, southwest Alabama has some of the best hunting in the deep south.

Located outside of Gilbertown, Alabama, Water Valley was first surveyed by the Surveyor General in the early 1820's. Settlers were here in early 1800 but the majority followed in 1850's.

The Utsey family was part of this second settlement arriving from Barbour County. Homesteading a piece of land like thousands of others, the Utsey's began farming and timber work to survive. Some of the property hunted at Water Valley is of the original homestead.

Brothers Jake and Jeff Utsey began putting together the plans for Water Valley in the late 1980's. When the original lodge mysteriously burned to the ground in 1996, Water Valley relocated, rebuilt and moved into the forefront of the industry in comfort and style. The hunting continues to improve every year with over 30,000 acres accumulated since Water Valley's conception.
