An Alabama Natural Landmark
The Mobile-Tensaw Delta stretches across more than 200,000 acres of swamps, river bottomlands and marshes. Second only to the Mississippi River Delta in size, this National Natural Landmark is shaped by rivers, creeks, bays, lakes, wetlands and bayous. The Delta & Bay Conservation Center at 5 Rivers provides a practical introduction to this remarkable landscape.

Wildlife in a Living Delta
The Mobile-Tensaw Delta supports freshwater and saltwater fish, turtles, alligators and many bird species. Herons, osprey and other coastal birds may be seen around the waterways. Wildlife encounters are never guaranteed; observe from a safe distance and never feed or approach wild animals.
Check Before You Travel
The property is now operated as the Alabama Wildlife Federation Delta & Bay Conservation Center at 5 Rivers. Review its current visitor information, programming and access guidance before making the drive.
