father and daughter fishingHave you grown up fishing or are you just getting started at this hobby? No matter what your level, the Alabama Bass Trail will provide an unforgettable outing.

Each of the 13 lakes offers boat access, land access, fishing piers and docks. Catch bass, crappie, bluegill, catfish and more during your visits. Drop your line in rough terrain for a challenge or choose easier shoreline fishing to learn and perfect your skills.

Along with angling, the lakes are popular all year for boating, kayaking, skiing, paddleboarding and more. Bike or hike around a state park and up bluffs to overlook the water, or plop a chair down and just relax. No matter what your outdoor goal is, you’ll be drawn here over and over again.

It’s only a short distance from one lake to another, each offering beautifully scenic views of Alabama. Choose any lake for a fun day or weekend trip, visit a handful of locations over several days, or plan an extended trip to travel the entire trail. There’s no right or wrong way to proceed.

Grab your fishing poles, a little bait, and head out for an adventure to explore Alabama. The great outdoors is truly knocking at your door.
