On my way to Mobile AL this week I crossed the Mobile River Delta.
The Mobile Delta consists of approximately 20,323 acres of water just north of Mobile Bay. Second only to the Mississippi River Delta in size, the Mobile Delta is an environmental showplace that is 30 miles long and 12 miles wide. It covers more than 200,000 acres of swamps, river bottomlands and marshes. Congress named the Mobile Delta a National Natural Landmark in 1974; fewer than 600 sites have received that honor. It is formed by the confluence of the Alabama and Tombigbee Rivers. The Mobile Delta is a complex network of tidally influenced rivers, creeks, bays, lakes, wetlands, and bayous.

There is a reasonbly nice campground right on it. It is right at the base of the big bridge. An old KOA spot that has been taken ove by the state and county. Monthly rares are around $300.oo. Marina, boat docks et al. Understand the fishing is great.
Love to all,
