This is a wonderful opportunity to see downtown historic Mobile “up close and personal.” Our walk – with the very knowledgeable and entertaining Richard Rose serving as our guide - will enable us to develop a real historical understanding of this wonderful city as we stroll by antebellum homes, museums, monuments, and old cemeteries.

This will be a relaxing and inspiring six mile float lasting about 4 hours as we paddle from CR 49 in Baldwin County to and through Weeks Bay. As part of Oktsoberfest week at USA, this trip will be offered free for USA students. Enjoy the cruise without the booze! The first part of this trip is marked by beautiful, ornate houses reflecting old southern style and charm which line the banks of the river. The middle portion will become a marshy area where we will see egrets and herons perched in trees and wading on the banks. And, we may get lucky; manatees are often spotted in the river. The final part will be open water paddling along the banks of the beautiful Weeks Bay shoreline and wetlands habitat. Weeks Bay is fringed with Spartina and Juncus marsh and swamp; it receives salt water from the Gulf and fresh water from Magnolia River, thus making it a diverse and fragile habitat for plants and wildlife.
