The Blackwater Paddler's Guide: Alabama Edition
The rivers Alabama's own water trails, riverkeepers, parks and forests recommend, from Little River Canyon to the Mobile-Tensaw Delta.
We have not paddled Alabama yet, and we will not pretend we have. Every river in this book is recommended by the people who look after it: the Park Service, the Forest Service, the Alabama Scenic River Trail, the state's conservation department, American Whitewater and the riverkeepers. Every page says who, and every fact names its source. When we get to one of these rivers ourselves, its page changes over to ours.
- 11 rivers on full pages, each with a suggested trip from the recommending source
- 30 more Alabama rivers, creeks and bay trails, in shorter entries
- North Alabama canyons and creeks, the Cahaba, Coosa and Tallapoosa, and down to the Mobile-Tensaw Delta
- Every gauge, launch, mileage and rule names its source
- Each river page sends you to the Camping Wilderness Skills app for the live water level
