Alabama rivers pages: what readers ask
How many Alabama rivers and creeks have a page?
67; 52 have a live USGS gauge and 38 carry an ADCNR river write-up.
Which rivers carry digest exceptions?
9, among them the Chattahoochee, the coastal rivers of Mobile and Baldwin counties and the walleye streams of the Coosa system.
Do the flow figures refresh?
Yes; each USGS gauge on a river page pulls its newest reading through the day.
Is the Mobile-Tensaw Delta here?
Yes, as its own page, with the lower delta rivers and the bays at its mouth on the coast pages.
Where is the trout water?
The Sipsey Fork below Lewis Smith Dam, the one tailwater in the state stocked with rainbow trout.
Why does a creek have no page?
A stream needs an ADCNR ramp or bank site, a USGS gauge, a digest exception or an ADCNR write-up first.
Where do the river lengths come from?
USGS National Hydrography Dataset flowlines inside Alabama.
Do river pages list fish species?
Where ADCNR names them on its river page, along with any state record caught there.
