Historic Blakeley State Park, State park in Baldwin County, United States.

Historic Blakeley State Park covers 2,000 acres on the Tensaw River delta, bounded by Alabama 225 to the east and the river to the west. The site of the former town of Blakeley holds Confederate breastworks that cross the park and 20 miles of hiking trails. Mobile can be seen across the river.

Blakeley began as a river town in Baldwin County before becoming a Confederate garrison. On April 9, 1865, more than 16,000 soldiers fought the Battle of Fort Blakeley, the last major Civil War battle, the same day as the Confederate surrender. African-American troops formed a large part of the Union force. In 1993 Congress named it a Class A Civil War site.

The site reflects the presence of multiple groups who settled here over centuries and shaped the region's development. Walking through the park today, you can observe how different communities lived in this landscape.

Entry is through marked entrances, and visitors should wear sturdy shoes and bring weather protection for trails and outdoor areas. Conditions vary by season, so checking ahead helps you plan appropriately for your visit.

The park is not run by the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources; a separate state authority oversees it, and since state funding was suspended in 2011 it has been paid for by private contributions and gate receipts. Schoolteacher Mary Grice of Mobile founded it in 1976 as a private not-for-profit foundation.
