Kayakers paddling down a creek towards a river

Your Guide to Outdoor Adventures in Alabama 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 longest and most experience-diverse river trail in the country. Let us be your resource to more than 6,300 miles of accessible waterways by connecting you to a state-wide network of organizations, guides, and retailers.
