Historic Blakeley State Park takes guests by boat to the Bottle Creek site, which has 18 earthen mounds built centuries ago by Native Americans and was once one of the largest communities in the Southeast. The site is reachable only by water. Guests board at Live Oak Landing, less than a mile north of I-65 in the Stockton area, and walk about a half mile on the island.
Before you go
- Book through the Book Now button on the park's event page.
- Drive to Live Oak Landing off Alabama State Highway 225, less than a mile north of I-65, and arrive early to board.
- Wear shoes suitable for hiking about a half mile and bring snacks and water.
- The excursion runs from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM.
What we checked, and when
Read off the venue's own page on 2026-10-28.
Historic Blakeley's event page lists $45 for adults and $35 for kids.
High water that floods Mound Island may force a reschedule, and the park says it will notify guests as early as possible.
This trip boards at Live Oak Landing, not at the park.
