Meaher State Park, State park in Spanish Fort, Alabama
Meaher State Park is a 1,327-acre protected area located on Mobile Bay and the Blakeley River delta near Spanish Fort. The park contains coastal wetlands, marshes, and wooded sections that support a range of native plants and animals.
The land was owned by the Meaher family, timber merchants who donated the property to Alabama in 1930 for public use. This donation preserved the coastal landscape for recreation and environmental protection.
The park offers nature programs where visitors learn about local ecosystems and wetland conservation efforts in the Mobile Bay area. These educational activities help people understand how the landscape supports wildlife and plant life.
The park offers 61 RV sites, 10 tent camping spots, and two furnished cabins for different types of visitors. Multiple fishing piers provide access to both freshwater and saltwater fishing opportunities.
A 300-yard elevated boardwalk extends through the delta marshlands and offers close views of native plants and wildlife in their natural habitat. This pathway lets visitors experience the wetland ecosystem up close without disturbing it.
