Alabama River

      
Welcome to the Alabama River,
      sometimes refered to as the common man's country club. When you
      spend a weekend boating on the Alabama, you can go from explorer
      to sportsman, to lazy hound to party animal, all in one day.

      
You can fish a little, cruise
      the river, maybe ski. In the heat of the day you can anchor and
      let the river rock you to sleep. Or you can buzz to Little Miami.
      Pontoon, ski and fishing boats pull up on the great sandbar,
      and you can catch the scent of "Eau de Alabama"-fresh
      river air, smoke from at least a dozen charcoal grills, and sunscreen.

Hunting

      
Dallas County and the five counties
      which adjoin it are known throughout the United States as the
      "Whitetail Capital of the Nation." This area has more
      whitetail deer per acre than any other region in Alabama, and
      Alabama has more deer per acre than any other state. We also
      have our fair share of dove, turkey., woodducks, mallards, teal,
      widgeons, Canada geese and other waterfowl.
