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.
