About the fowl river
Fowl River is a 14-mile-long river in Alabama that flows into Mobile Bay. The river was named by French explorers who observed large flocks of waterfowl in the area. The Fowl River Watershed covers 38,000 acres and includes several small tributaries. The river's hydrology is influenced by tides from Mobile Bay. The river has two reservoirs, Fowl River Number One Reservoir and Fowl River Number Two Reservoir, which were constructed in the 1950s for flood control and water supply purposes. The river is popular for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and kayaking, and the surrounding area is home to several marinas and parks. Agriculture is also an important use of the land surrounding the river, with crops such as soybeans, cotton, and corn being grown in the area.
