The Mobile-Tensaw River Delta
This delta isn't referred to as "America's Amazon" because of its simplistic landscape. It is called this due to being comprised of swamps, marshes, bogs, wetlands, and a biodiverse ecosystem full of wildlife you only see in movies. There are various trails, boat tours, and kayaking opportunities to explore this 48,000-acre wonderland of wilderness.
