Fishing
Steven Wright: "There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore like an idiot."
We have it all at Alabama State Parks. The fishing enthusiast will find freshwater as well as saltwater fishing at it's finest in Alabama. Our lakes, rivers and streams are home to a variety of bass, bream, crappie, catfish, walleye and rainbow trout to name a few! At our Gulf State Park, the saltwater angler will find excitement in landing the big one right from the beach. Everything from king mackerel, amberjack, cobia, flounder, bluefish, tuna and more. Many of our parks offer full marina services, including boat rentals, bait & tackle, snacks and cold drinks. Regardless of the type of fishing you may choose, please be sure to check state licensing regulations and creel limits. For the more competitive anglers, several of our Alabama State Parks play host to a number of tournaments through out the year and we welcome you and your family to join us. For more information about fishing in the coastal or freshwaters of Alabama, go to the Official Alabama Fishing Web Page.
