Chickasabogue Park is a 1,100-acre outdoor recreation facility and wildlife refuge. It provides a wide variety of outdoor activities in a natural setting while protecting the environment and preserving the diversity of plants and animals indigenous to the area.

The park is open from 7 a.m. until dusk for day-use activities and is open 24 hours for campers. The gates are locked at night and professional guards are on duty to assist campers and enforce park rules.

The following description thanks to R. Jones, Parks & Wildlife Manager, Mobile County: "Chickasabogue Park is a 1200 acre Mobile County, Al outdoor recreation facility with a very nice cold, clear but dark water stream (tannic color) with sugar white sand bars. It is one of the few streams in this part of the state that remain cool and refreshing even in the dog days of summer. There is a roped off swim area popular with locals in the summer and large white sand bars upstream and downstream from there reachable by canoe or boat for a more private swimming experience. The Park rents canoes for $5 per hour and $20 all day."Courtesy of swimmingholes.org

Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
