Short Creek Paddle Trail

Short Creek Boat Ramp, Alabama Highway 227 

Paddling back to Dry Creek and inflow into Short Creek, pass along a sandbar where the cattails grow rampantly making great habitat for Red-Wing Blackbirds. The water along the shoreline is quite shallow creating many opportunities to view turtles and other species in the water. The kayak launch is located directly behind the ranger station at end of the fishing dock.
