Canal Island Platform Campground
Canal Island Platform Campground
Canal Island Platform Campground is a floating camping platform located on the east side of Canal Island in the Mobile-Tensaw Delta, accessible via the Bartram Canoe Trail's 11-mile Canal Island overnight route starting from French's Lake Coastal Access Kiosk.
The platform accommodates groups of up to eight paddlers (canoes and kayaks only) and requires advance reservation; campers must bring a portable toilet, camp stove (open fires prohibited), compass, map, and flashlight.
Optimal water levels at Claiborne Dam range from 10-19 feet on tailrace readings, with 15-18 feet being ideal for the upper delta creek systems.
