An attempt to mobilize the public for a one day blitz on the locks appears to have been a success in the eyes of Alabama Scenic River Trail director Jim Fielder. “People of every age turned out for the event,” Fielder said. “Cabin cruisers, pontoons, runabouts, bass boats, powered canoes, jet skis, houseboats, canoes, kayaks and paddleboards were represented.”
Venture Outdoors TV Show‘s insight:
This is great news for recreational boaters! With the huge turn out, the Corps now sees the locks should remain open for recreational use. With the new policy, we get 10 hours per day/4 days per week and 500 lockages per year. Congratulations Boaters!
