About This Access Site
Tensaw Landing is a public boat ramp located in Spanish Fort, Baldwin County, on the north side of Battleship Parkway, east of the Tensaw River Bridge. This access point provides convenient entry to Mobile Bay and the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta system, making it a popular launch for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats exploring the region's extensive waterways.

The ramp provides straightforward access to the lower Tensaw River and Mobile Bay's calm, brackish waters. This area is ideal for paddlers seeking protected paddling through the delta ecosystem, with opportunities to explore tidal creeks and tributaries. The site's proximity to the Tensaw River Bridge and its location on the bay side make it well-suited for both recreational paddling and fishing trips. Be aware of tidal conditions, as this is a tidal waterway where water levels and current flow vary throughout the day.

The site is part of a network of public launches in the Spanish Fort area, so paddlers have options if this ramp reaches capacity. Check local tide schedules before launching, especially if you're paddling with smaller craft or exploring shallow areas of the delta.
