Smaller Parks on Dauphin Island
Aloe Bay Landing Park
This small waterfront park is located in the industrial section of the Island.
It is a great spot to watch shrimp and crab boats coming and going as well as work boats related
to the offshore gas industry. Picnic tables and benches are provided.
Bayou Heron Park
A quite, peaceful waterfront park popular with bird watchers and others. A small pier
is provided as well as picnic tables and benches. It has a great view of the 3 ½ mile bridge connecting
Dauphin Island to the mainland.
Magnolia Park
This is a very small, pedestrian-access only roadside park
located between the ferry landing and Historic Fort Gaines. Originally
designed to give walk-on visitors from the ferry a shaded spot to picnic
and cool-off, it has also become very popular with those using the Island
long Bike path. Besides picnic tables and benches, a porch swing hanging
from a large magnolia limb is also provided. |
