Alabama:
The Heart of Dixie; historically, Yellowhammer State, Alabama (thicket clearers) takes it name from the Alabama River, which in turn was named for the Alabama Indian tribe. Alabama is located in the deep South East and is bordered by Tennessee on the north, Georgia to the east, Florida to the south, Gulf of Mexico & Mississippi to the west. Alabama is sometimes called the Heart of Dixie because of its central location among the Southern states. Its piney woods and grand old oak and magnolia trees range east to west from Georgia to Mississippi, north to south from Tennessee to Florida. The Fall Line curves from Phenix City, near the Georgia border, north and west across Alabama. The land on either side of this line, where highlands and lowlands meet, is very different.  The Appalachian Highlands reach into northern Alabama. Red clays betray a wealth of iron which made the city of Birmingham an industrial giant. Ancient peoples found northern Alabama to their liking as well. In the northeast corner of the state, near the Tennessee border, is Russell Cave. Alabama is and is not the place you might expect. On one hand, it retains a rural and distinctly southern character and embraces some of the classic traits of the Deep South, including a love of country music, stock-car racing and history. The state`s past is on display in everything from Native American burial mounds to antebellum mansions as well as museums and monuments that commemorate the struggles of the civil-rights movement. Alabama has several attractions that set it apart from some of its neighbours. Huntsville has the U.S. Space and Rocket Center and the U.S. Space Camp, both of which spring from the city's key role in NASA space explorations. And the renowned Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, a string of courses spanning the state, has made Alabama a must-play destination for golfers who love challenging holes and beautiful scenery. Alabama`s rich historic past is well preserved, especially its beautiful antebellum homes. The Constitution of the Confederacy was drawn up in Alabama. The civil rights movement also started in Alabama. The bustling port of Mobile has a very important port of call for merchant ships from all over the world. Alabama has great beaches, bays and rivers, and is a Mecca for outdoor enthusiasts, fishermen and hunters. Alabama's lakes, rivers and streams are home to a variety of bass, bream, crappie, catfish, walleye and rainbow trout to name a few! At our Gulf State Resort, the saltwater angler will find excitement in landing the big one from our own pier or surf fishing right from the beach. Everything from king mackerel, amberjack, cobia, flounder, bluefish, tuna and more. Many of our parks offer full marina services including boat rentals, bait & tackle, snacks and cold drinks. Alabama State Parks offer a selection of overnight accommodations just for you, on ridge tops or lake edges, along golf courses or in secluded woods. Several parks offer rustic cabins, some constructed of native stone, that will make you feel like you`re `roughing it` in style. Plus, you`ll be able to wake up to a round of golf or enjoy water sports on one of the many rivers and lakes.
