My favorite time to be out on the water is at sunrise. We put-in at the Weeks Bay / Fish River boat ramp and leisurely paddled about. The photo above was taken on the Fish River.
We explored the little loop around a marsh (map location below). The side of the loop closest to the roadway was a little noisy with traffic, even at sunrise on a Sunday, but the other side of the loop (pictured above) was lovely.
After we exited the loop, we paddled up the Fish River. The photo above is looking back at the 98 bridge.
We explored the Fish River for a while then paddled back down into Weeks Bay. Coastal birds were sunning, hunting for breakfast, and posing for photos. People were out fishing off piers and kayaks. The water was vast and blue, mirroring the sky above.
The launch address is:
11470 U.S. 98
Fairhope, AL 36532
NOTE: The turn-off to the put-in runs parallel to 98 for a tiny little stretch, and under the bridge. The ramp is very nice and easy to unload, load, launch, etc. There are porta potties at the launch and they're well kept and decent enough, as far as porta potties go. Good parking, though I imagine it can fill up during peak times.
Free public launch
