Alabama Scenic River Trail

Wilderness Tripping
#1

I was wondering if anyone here has done any of the sections. I decided that I am going to do the full 631 miles and was going to see if I could get any pointers.

#2

no but would like
It looks like a great route with lots of potential other side trip…i was looking at that as part of a huge paddle across the country and a person could spend a 1000 miles worth of paddling around alabama waiting for the snow to melt in the northland before heading that way…good luck and go for it…post your photos.

#3

heres some info
Some info on the trail. I didnt know it was the longest single state trail in the country…way cool!

Contact Richard Grove

I’m not sure which one is good or maybe both?



He’s the man. He can answer all your questions. Now, he’s pretty outrageous and it got him banned from p-net, but I consider him a good friend and he knows his paddling.

Book - Paddling Alabama
Good info on put ins and take outs and other useful stuff. If you’re near the border pick up “Canoeing Mississippi” too
