WATER SAFETY: The Corps is
actively involved in
promoting
water safety education. At that link you will find educational materials, current programs, products and
partnerships used throughout the community to promote a safe experience on our lakes and rivers.
The Mobile District is also active in the
National
Water Safety Congress and sponsors many initiatives to promote water safety through
watersafety.usace.army.mil.
Remember to always wear your life jacket when riding in a boat. Just like a
car seat belt, your life jacket can't work if you
don't wear it.

FISHING:
Whether you are looking for
bank fishing or boat fishing, bass, bream, trout or catfish, the Mobile
District has a fishing spot for you. State and local fish and game
laws apply on Corps lakes and a
state
fishing license is required. Many states sponsor an
Angler
Award program where the largest fish caught during the year of each
species is recognized with an award.

BOATING:
From fishing boats, to skiers, to personal watercraft and sightseeing
vessels, there is something for everyone.
All vessels on
Corps waters must be registered with the registration numbers posted on
the hull with the exception of certain small craft, such as canoes or
kayaks, which may not need to be registered.
RAMP STATUS NOTE:
While boat launching ramps
are available at all of our projects, the current
drought in the southeast is affecting their usability at some projects. You can check the
status of a specific boat ramp at any lake by calling the
project office/visitor
center.

HUNTING:
All hunting seasons are
set by the appropriate state or local governing body. State
hunting licenses are required at all areas open to hunting on Corps of
Engineers property. Some states require an additional stamp for
hunting in wildlife management areas. Some areas have
additional restrictions or requirements.

SPECIAL EVENTS:
Any event that
falls outside of the scope of general recreation, such as a fishing
tournament, boat regatta, music festival, fireworks display, film or
television production, large-scale picnic, wedding, or fair may require
a special event permit. Contact your respective
project office
for information on obtaining a permit.
