Over night trips in Alabama

Wilderness Tripping
#1

I was wondering if there was any good places to take overnight canoe trips in Alabama other than the Sipsey. Ive heard good things about the Mobile-Tensaw Delta in South Alabama. I plan to do the Sipsey as well later this month. I’m planning to take some longer trips on other rivers. Maybe 4-5 night trips. Going to be paddling with groups of 6-8 men. I usually paddle the Locust Fork but all is to familiar since I grew up close to the river. Want to explore new waters. Any imput will be appreciated.



Thanks.

Escatawpa
We did a nice week long trip on the Escatawpa a number of years ago.
