About Meaher State Park

The park's boat ramp and fishing pier will appeal to every fisherman, and a self-guided walk on our boardwalk provides a close-up view of the stunning Mobile-Tensaw Delta. We also welcome day-use visitors and are a stop on the Alabama Coastal Birding Trail.

Nature
The Mobile-Tensaw Delta consists of approximately 20,323 acres of water. It is the second-largest Delta in the contiguous US, and Meaher State Park is the perfect access point to this massive natural wonder. Formed by the confluence of the Alabama and Tombigbee Rivers, the Mobile-Tensaw Delta is a complex network of tidally influenced rivers, creeks, bays, lakes, wetlands, and bayous. Since the Delta empties into Mobile Bay, it is a productive estuary with numerous species of fresh and saltwater fish, which makes Meaher State Park an angler's dream.
Activities
The park offers a 300-foot pier with a 200-foot "T" for fishing. Access to the dock is included in the park gate fee. Most common freshwater and saltwater fish are abundant in the area. An Alabama freshwater fishing license is required. A boat ramp with access to the Blakeley River is at the park's east end and is open from 7 a.m. until sundown. There is a $5 boat launch fee. We also have a boardwalk for walking, paddling launches, kayak and canoe rentals, and picnic pavilions are available.
Accommodations
For those looking for overnight accommodations in the Mobile/Baldwin County area, our park campground offers 108 RV campsites with 50-amp electrical connections and water and sewer hookups. There are also 10 improved tent sites with water and 20-amp electrical connections. We also have eight bay-side cabins (two are fully ADA compliant, one is ADA accessible) overlooking Ducker Bay. The campground features two modern bathhouses and a laundry facility.
Area Attractions
After visiting the park, enjoy the abundant shopping and dining options in the Mobile metro area. The white sands of Alabama's Gulf Coast are also an hour away. The nearby Mobile-Tensaw, W.L.
