5 Rivers Delta Resource Center
The gateway to the Mobile–Tensaw Delta, offering kayaking, boat tours and trails for exploring the wetlands known as 'the Amazon of America.'
The Mobile–Tensaw River Delta is the second-largest estuarine delta in the United States and has exceptionally high biodiversity, earning it the nickname 'the Amazon of America.' The 5 Rivers Delta Resource Center sits along the causeway on the east side of Mobile Bay, with exhibit halls, boardwalks and observation decks. Visitors can rent kayaks or join delta boat tours, with a chance to see alligators, ospreys, herons and bald eagles. Admission to the center's exhibits is free, while boat tours and rentals cost extra. It is about a 15-minute drive from downtown Mobile via I-10.
