With 13 lakes to choose from and an abundance of recreational opportunities, the Alabama Bass Trail has so many opportunities for family fun, you might want to plan more than one trip this year.

Fishing together is a great way to make family memories, fill those photo albums and just enjoy time with each other. Consider taking to the water with one of the many family-friendly guides who fish our lakes for a living and love sharing the fun – if not all their secrets – with the multitude of visitors who visit each year.

Start with the trail map to map out your trip then check out our partners for tourism information about the areas around each of our lakes to find just the combination of activities for your crew. To give you some ideas, check out the itineraries we’ve developed. But don’t be shy about branching out on your own! And for even more ideas, our Alabama Tourism Department has developed an entire state of road trips for you. You know you won’t want to miss all our fabulous state parks and amazing array of attractions, either.

But we digress. Start with the fishing. The Alabama Bass Trail is the perfect place to spend time together, see the diversity of this great state and reel in some real fun! Aren’t you ready to head out and start the adventure?
