Take Me To the River: The Africatown Connections Blueway Kayak Trail

The “Africatown Connections Blueway” offers more than ten miles of paddling and connects four jurisdictions (Mobile, Prichard, Chickasaw, and Mobile County) with three bodies of water (Three Mile Creek, the Mobile River, and Chickasaw Creek), ultimately linking the historic Africatown community with the promised Afri- catown U.S.A. State Park in Prichard. There are 14 points of interest designated along the Blueway. Africatown’s C.H.E.S.S. organization (Clean. Healthy. Educated. Safe. Sustainable.), led by director Major Joe Womack, has developed a trail map and booklet showcasing the points of interest.
