The Magnolia River that flows through the town of Magnolia Springs is a classic coastal Alabama river. Tall live oaks on the shore, cypress trees at the water’s edge, and a slow current that takes a floater downstream to the confluence with Week’s Bay are what you'll find here.

Just pass the bridge on County Road 49 near the town of Magnolia Springs, swimmers and boaters will find relief from oppressive summertime heat. Known as “The Cold Hole” by locals, this area of spring water creates some very comfortable swimming and floating conditions which makes hot weather on the water much more pleasant.

After a float enjoy the quaint town of Magnolia Springs with a cold drink or locally sourced meal from Jesse's Restaurant and a serene walk under the majestic canopy of centuries old Live Oak trees.
