Dead Lake Platform Campground

Dead Lake Platform Campground features two floating camping platforms on Briar Lake accessible via the Bartram Canoe Trail, accommodating groups of up to eight paddlers per platform (or larger groups using both platforms).

Platforms require advance reservations, have no open fires (camp stoves only), and each party must bring a compass, map, flashlight, and portable toilet.

The campground is located approximately 7 miles from Upper Bryant Landing via Tensaw Lake and offers excellent access to the pristine Mobile-Tensaw Delta ecosystem for canoeists and kayakers.
