The Alabama State Lands Division’s official Canoe Trails website was awarded the prestigious Award of Excellence by the Communicator Awards last month. This is the second award for the website, which showcases more than 170 miles of trail located along the Bartram Canoe Trail and the Perdido River Canoe Trail.

The website allows kayakers and canoeists to plan trips down many of Alabama’s canoe trails, as well as set reservations for overnight shelters along their trip – all from the convenience of their home computer or mobile device. The website offers both interactive maps as well as photo galleries featuring each shelter, landing and trail to provide a positive user experience on both the website and trail.

The following tools and features are available to site visitors:

  • Day and overnight trail details – including shelter reservation platform
  • Interactive detailed map of trail system keeps Kayakers and Canoeists fully prepared for trip
  • Planning resources and guidelines set forth by the Alabama State Lands Division
