Kayakers paddling down a creek towards a river

Your Guide to Alabama's Freshwater Adventure is Here

We invite you to explore all Alabama has to offer from the water! Our waterways include mountain streams, waterfalls, calm lakes, babbling creeks, multi-class whitewater, river deltas, and salty Gulf waves. We even have it all in one trail, our namesake, Alabama Scenic River Trail — the country’s longest and most experience-diverse river trail. 

Let us be your resource to more than 6,300 miles of accessible and open waterways, ideal for a wide range of water sports and adventure opportunities, by connecting you to a state-wide network of organizations, guides, and retailers.
