Bells Landing

Bells Landing provides access to the Alabama River, one of the state's major waterways. Situated about a mile above the confluence with Tallatchee Creek, this boat ramp offers an entry point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats.

The Alabama River is a substantial river system, stretching over 300 miles with a drainage area exceeding 22,000 square miles. It has an average flow of nearly 35,000 cubic feet per second and an average velocity of 8 feet per second, so paddlers should be prepared for potentially strong currents. The river's total elevation drop of 120 feet results in a mild average gradient of 0.4 feet per mile.

Boaters will find a boat ramp and modest parking area at Bells Landing. No specific details on hours or fees are available, so paddlers and boaters should plan accordingly. As with any river excursion, exercising caution and wearing appropriate safety gear is recommended.
