The Scenic River Trail passes through much of the 11 county region in Alabama highlighted in Alabama's Front Porches website. Day trips, historic destinations, semi-supported group paddles, overnight trips and extended paddling adventures are to be found along the Coosa and Alabama Rivers and through the Mobile-Tensaw Delta. For those inclined to meet a personal challenge, try the entire length or significant portions. There's no better way to get so close to nature and no better state for nature's awesome beauty.

Alabama's great new river trail is the longest water trail in any single state of the country, beginning at the Georgia state line and winding its way across nine beautiful lakes, with scenery ranging from magnificent wildlife preserves and steep stone cliffs to the tranquil beauty of the secluded creeks of the Delta region--the second largest delta in the US. The Trail follows seven rivers and two creeks through a wide variety of types of paddling and scenery. After passing through the Delta, the route follows the eastern shore of Mobile Bay, ending at historic Ft. Morgan. Learn more about the Alabama Scenic River Trail.
