The Clifton Ferry boat ramp provides access to the Alabama River, one of the major river systems in the state. This double-lane concrete ramp is located in Wilcox County, about 359 miles upstream from the river's mouth.
The Alabama River is a sizeable, fast-flowing waterway, with an average discharge of over 34,700 cubic feet per second. Its total length is over 313 miles, with an elevation drop of 120 feet along its course. Boaters and paddlers should be aware of the river's strong currents and plan accordingly.
Nearby amenities are limited, with the closest campground being the reservable Miller's Ferry Campground, located within 10 miles of the ramp. Visitors should come prepared with all necessary equipment and supplies, as on-site facilities may be minimal. As with any river access point, paddlers are advised to check current conditions and plan their trip safely.
