MEAHER STATE PARK
This 1,327-acre park is situated in the wetlands of north Mobile Bay, and is a day-use, picnicking and scenic park with modern camping hook-ups for overnight visitors. Meahers boat ramp and fishing pier will appeal to every fisherman and aself-guided walk on our boardwalk will give you an up-close view of the beautiful Mobile-Tensaw Delta.
The Mobile-Tensaw Delta consists of approximately 20,323 acres of water, is the second largest delta in the contiguous US and Meaher State Park is the perfect access point to this massive natural wonder. Formed by the confluence of the Alabama and Tombigbee Rivers, the Mobile-Tensaw Delta is a complex network of tidally influenced rivers, creeks, bays, lakes, wetlands, and bayous. Since the Delta empties into Mobile Bay, it is a productive estuary with numerous species of fresh and saltwater fish, which makes Meaher State Park an anglers dream. You might also see an alligator or two.
Located in Alabama, the park was established in 1983. It is named after Augustine Meaher, a local businessman from Mobile. The area covers over 1,300 acres and includes wetlands of the Mobile Bay estuary.
The land for this public space was donated by Elizabeth McGowin Sawada to honor her grandfather Charles Meaher Sr., who had acquired it during his lifetime as an investment property.
It offers various recreational activities like camping and fishing due to its location on Ducker Bayou between Blakeley River & Apalachee River.
In recent years efforts have been made towards environmental conservation including protecting endangered species inhabiting these lands such as American alligators and brown pelicans.
