In-Depth Information
The trails at Historic Blakeley State Park lead you to some of the best-preserved breastworks and redoubts in the re-
gion.
Since we last visited Blakeley, there has been a new addition: the original brick
and wood foundation of the town's courthouse. It's an impressive structure to
view, and you will pass it along this hike.
Not only is Blakeley steeped with history, but it is filled with natural beauty as
well. This hike will take you past the Wehle Nature Center, which is used for con-
ferences and special presentations (visit the park's website for schedules). There is
also a display behind the building of some of the wildlife that calls the Mobile-
Tensaw River Delta home.
The trail will also take you down a boardwalk along the banks of the second-
largest river delta in the country and one of the largest intact wetland systems left
in America, with over 300,000 acres of swampland, river bottom, and marshes.
