Gravel Landing is the uppermost access point for the 19-mile Alabama State Lands Perdido River Canoe Trail, providing paddlers with access to all six camping shelters and downstream landings.

Located off Staple Fork Road from County Road 112, this gravel ramp serves as the starting point for canoe and kayak trips featuring gently flowing tannin-stained waters and numerous sandbars. Paddlers should be aware of known log jams approximately 1.

75 miles downstream and check water levels before trips, as the Perdido River is greatly influenced by local rainfall.
