Five Rivers Delta Resource Center

A free visitor center on the edge of the Mobile-Tensaw Delta, with a boardwalk out over the marsh where gators are commonly seen, especially warmer months. Rent a kayak here for a closer, guided-adjacent look at the delta's channels if you want more than the boardwalk view. Stay on the boardwalk rail and keep kayaks a real distance from any gator in the water; the delta is tidal and gators here are fully wild. No feeding.
