this is a wonderful place to go and ride your horses. Billy Smith has always shown a willingness to take suggestions and work with you to make Magnolia friendly for all users. it is one of the few places that you can ride your horses in the water and away from any traffic in this area. the PCI built a very nice stalling area just so that if you want to stay and camp with your horses they also will be taken care of. i just cant say enough about how wonderful it is to have a safe and traffic free place to enjoy nature by horseback.
thank you.

It would be nicer had they not closed off the only place to go lay out at the creek with friends and family. I refuse to pay for something God created

@Friction(>)Machine, It is possible but be prepared to portage around log jams and over shallow places, depending on the rain fall. You have a monster log jam at Cotton lake. I would recommend pulling out at the hwy 31 bridge in Flomaton.

Remember those satillite mosaics are not in real time and are dated. A big rain may have created a jam since the images were made. I would suggest being in shape as you get to dragging or carrying a canoe and gear through 100 degree/90% humidity heat, down through the bushs, a cardiac event could surely happen?

What would be really cool would be putting in somewhere above 65 and taking Big Escambia to Escambia River and on down to Pensacola Bay….I have looked at this from satellite photos…Anyone know if its even possible?

Loved this video! Feel like I’ve been on a mini vacation after watching it!

I think that the Box Turtle habitat is a wonderful idea.

It would be nice to see a canoe/kayak drop point above I-65 as stopping along the interstate is a little hazardous, due to high speed traffic.

The PCI have done so very much for ESC/ALA and it’s surronding areas.

WTG Mr.Billy, this is a wonderful place that you have here for the community as well as visitors to the area. I personally love spending our summers out here with our family and friends camping, tubing and just being in the outdoors. You can count on me, my friends and all my children,nieces and nephews returning in May. Thanks for all that you are doing to give our younger generation a place to enjoy the summers and learn about nature. Get the Camper ready because I know we will be putting it to great use as usual.
