When you travel north of Montgomery, you will come across a 318-mile stretch of water known as the Alabama River. Open to commercial and recreational traffic, this river is a popular spot for anglers who are looking to catch some bass.

Ready to fish, but running short on supplies or need assistance choosing the best equipment? Bass Pro Shops and other bait shops are staffed with folks who are happy to share their knowledge and experience.

After spending a day on the river, you will have worked up an appetite. Spice up your taste buds with something juicy from Uncle Mick’s Cajun Market & Café or take a bite out of a delicious ribeye at Big Mike’s Steakhouse. 

With plenty of lodging options  in the area, it’s easy to make your trip a weekend getaway. And don’t forget to visit the nearby Roland Cooper State Park to enjoy native wildlife throughout the woodland scene.

Plan your visit today and explore the Alabama River on your next adventure!
